Republican leaders in the state legislature called a special session for today to limit Governor Whitmer’s emergency powers.
Gretchen has been a leader in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic to keep Michiganders safe, and Republican leaders are playing reckless partisan games to score political points.
Gretchen has demonstrated thoughtful, clear leadership throughout this crisis. She’s working day and night with a singular focus: defending Michigan from COVID-19.
Republican leaders should be ashamed of themselves for using a crisis to pursue a partisan power grab. By attempting to limit Gretchen’s emergency powers, the Republican legislature is hurting our state’s ability to keep Michigan safe.
Gretchen Whitmer is a proven fighter, can mobilize people to take on our big problems, and will challenge the status quo in Lansing to get things done for all Michiganders. As a mom, former legislator, and prosecutor, she’ll fight for the things that matter to people and put them first.
