Hey Team – We’ve been hearing from so many of you about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s response to Trump’s State of the Union, and we’re thrilled about the reaction. It’s clear that her message of progress is resonating with Democrats, but we need to heard from you today, Team.

We still need 16 more people in xxxxxx to tell us where they stand on Donald Trump. We’re counting on you,
Team. 

Do you approve of Donald Trump?

Thanks so much for your input,

Laura Carlson
DGA Digital Director

Subject: My response to Donald Trump 

 
 
Team, did you catch my speech last night? I gave the official Democratic response to the State of the Union, and I took the opportunity to highlight the fact that while Republicans are talking the talk, Democrats in Michigan and around the country are walking the walk.

From statehouses to governorships to the halls of Congress, Democrats are getting things done for the American people. And with your help, we can do even more.

If you’re tired of all the talking Donald Trump does and you’re ready to get to work, will you take a minute to weigh in?
 

Do you approve of Donald Trump?

I flipped Michigan blue in 2018 by focusing on the issues voters care about – healthcare, infrastructure, and an economy that works. Team, no matter what Donald Trump says, I know one thing for certain: Democrats can accomplish anything when we come together and put in the work.

Across the country, Democratic governors and Democratic legislators are expanding access to health care, funding quality public education, and finding solutions to fix our nation’s crumbling infrastructure – how we #FTDR, or as we say in Michigan: fix the damn roads!

I’m proud of the work Democrats in Congress have done to make sure there’s a check on Donald Trump. And in states across the country, it’s clear that Democratic governors are the strongest line of defense against the harmful Trump agenda.

NBC released a new poll showing 46% of people approve of the job Donald Trump is doing. Following the State of the Union, the DGA is conducting its own Trump Approval poll to test these results – but we haven’t heard from you.
 

Do you approve of Donald Trump?


We can’t let this moment pass us by – not after we’ve seen what a Trump presidency looks like. 

I’m counting on you to speak out, Team.

Thank you,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
