John–
My name is Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of the great state of Michigan.
[ [link removed] ]And today, I'm asking you to make a generous contribution to the
Everytown Victory Fund.
Unfortunately, Michigan is no stranger to gun violence. In the last few
years, two mass shootings on school grounds—one at Oxford High School and
the other at Michigan State University—changed our lives forever. I didn't
hestitate to jump to action.
In the wake of these tragic and preventable events, I worked with my
colleagues across the aisle and signed crucial bipartisan gun safety
legislation into law.
Michiganders—and Americans everywhere—deserve to feel safe, whether
they're picking up their kids from school or grocery shopping. That's why
it was so important to act quickly and pass common-sense gun violence
prevention laws—background checks, secure storage, extreme risk protection
orders, stronger penalties for domestic abusers, getting illegal guns off
our streets, and greater investments in mental health and local law
enforcement—to keep families safe.
But far too many communities don't have these protections in place. Right
now, there are candidates running for office at all levels of government
that share our values and desire to live in a country free from gun
violence. We must do all we can to get them elected.
I was a Gun Sense Candidate when I ran for governor, and now I am proud to
help the Everytown Victory Fund send even more Gun Sense Candidates to
public office. We can elect Gun Sense Candidates up and down the ballot
who will make a real difference in the lives of their constituents by
working together. But that depends on what we can accomplish in the final
days before Election Day.
[ [link removed] ]So I'm asking you personally: Will you please make a donation to the
Everytown Victory Fund ahead of October 31st and support their efforts to
lift up Gun Sense Candidates across the country?

I'm proud of the work we've done in Michigan to mitigate gun violence, and
now it's time to elect more leaders across the country who will do the
same.
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor, Michigan
