First, our political opponents started the process of recalling Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Then, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey backed a petition drive to limit the Governor’s emergency powers, saying this is “probably the Number 1 priority right now.”
Now, Republicans in the state legislature are filing lawsuits against Gretchen for listening to health experts during a public health crisis.
Republicans in Michigan are trying to take away Gretchen’s emergency powers with petty lawsuits and roundabout petitions. They’re throwing everything they’ve got at us.
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.
