John,

2022 was a good year for Democrats in Michigan. I won my race in a historic victory, and Gretchen Whitmer was re-elected, securing a Democratic Trifecta.

It’s easy to assume Michigan is now a secure blue state for 2024. But that’s what Democrats thought going into 2016, and we all know how that ended. Democrats took Michigan for granted, resulting in Donald Trump’s victory. Here’s the 2016 Michigan Electoral Map.

That map is enough to keep me awake at night. We can’t get complacent. Michigan is a battleground state, and ensuring Democrats win in Michigan starts with holding West Michigan. My team has made a month-by-month plan to win in 2024, but it all starts by meeting our August fundraising goal tomorrow.

If you don’t want a repeat of 2016, rush $25 to help us meet our August fundraising goal so we can build a winning 2024 campaign!

I appreciate your support,
Hillary Scholten
