I’m fighting like hell to help candidates in Michigan and across the country win in the toughest places.

In Michigan, we’ve shown that if you stay focused on the kitchen-table issues and getting stuff done, then you can compete anywhere and win.

After years of Republican leadership holding Michigan back, Democrats moved our state forward:
✅ Free breakfast and lunch for every student
✅ Free pre-K to community college
✅ 80,000 new homes to drive down housing costs
✅ Ended the retirement tax and cut taxes for working families
✅ Fixed 26,000+ lane miles of road

A Republican in charge is like bad fuel in your car. It slows you down, costs you more, and it won’t get you where you need to go.
Democratic governors are proving we don’t have to live with the chaos anymore.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Free breakfast. Free lunch. For every public school student in Michigan.
That’s over 500 million meals that help Michigan kids learn, grow, and succeed every school year.

Michiganders have waited long enough to get oil out of our Great Lakes.
Today, I’m calling on Enbridge to find a solution in the next few months, not in 10+ years. And after a recent MI Supreme Court decision, the state will review the tunnel permits.

No more rubber stamps for the MAGA Republican agenda which is our raising costs.

This November, we’re going to send fighters for working families to Lansing and D.C.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Happy Labor Day, Michigan. Today, we honor the union workers who built Michigan and those building its future.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Get ready, America! The next generation of Democratic governors is ready to take the field. This team is ready to fight for working families, lower costs, and deliver results.
And we’re just getting warmed up. Our roster is deep, with plenty more candidates ready to fight and win.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Want to know how we end the chaos and division coming out of Washington? Look to states like Michigan and Kentucky.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

This illegal attempt to restrict mail-in voting is a threat to our democracy. That’s why I’m taking the federal government to court to defend Michiganders’ right to vote. Our elections will be decided by voters, not by the federal government.

When @Tony4WI and @SarahforWI asked who they should invite, the answer was easy.

@DavidCCrowley is ready to deliver results as Wisconsin’s next governor.

❌Gas is still over $4/gallon. Groceries are up. The basics cost more. And Republicans in D.C. still haven't done a thing about it.

✅ In Michigan, we delivered over $1 billion in tax cuts for seniors and working families. That's what taking action to lower costs looks like.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

It feels pretty good to make sure all 1.4 million public school students in Michigan get free breakfast and lunch at school again this year, saving parents $1,000 per kid.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

It’s back to school, Michigan, and we’re making record investments in our kids and our schools:

📈 31% increase in K-12 per-student funding since I took office.
🥞 All 1.4 million kids get free breakfast and lunch.
📚 The largest literacy investment in Michigan history.
🎓 Free pre-K and community college.

Since day one, I’ve fought to stop Enbridge from pumping oil through the Great Lakes. That hasn’t changed. Today, I filed in court to defend Michigan’s right to decide what runs through our waters.

The Great Lakes power our economy and provide drinking water to millions. I’ll keep taking on big oil, special interests, and anyone who thinks Michiganders don’t get a say over our most precious resource.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

36 of our Fight Like Hell-trained candidates won their primaries earlier this month. That’s what happens when we help the next generation of leaders and give them the tools to win tough races and deliver results.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

I’m excited to take our Fight Like Hell candidate and staff training across the country, equipping candidates and teams with the tools to win—even in the toughest places.
