Hey John, Governor Gretchen Whitmer here. There’s only 7 days left until Election Day so I’ll get right to the point.

In these last few months since Kamala Harris and Tim Walz became our official Democratic ticket, the energy I’ve seen from voters has been unmatched. But we can’t take anything for granted.

In just 7 days, we face a choice: the choice between Kamala Harris and Democrats working to safeguard our fundamental freedoms, or a Republican party dominated by extremists whose agenda will raise costs on middle class families and undermine your freedoms.

I know where I stand. It’s about damn time there is a strong woman in the White House, and I know with my friend Tim Walz by Kamala Harris’ side, they will lead with the same winning three-part strategy I do: Get. Shit. Done.

But it’s now or never, and our Democratic candidates across the country are facing an onslaught of far-right funded attack ads. This isn’t going to be easy.

That’s where supporters like you come in, John. I’ve seen the power of this grassroots team firsthand. Every time I needed you most during my races for governor, you never failed to show up. But this could be our toughest test yet, and we can’t afford to waste even a moment.

Let’s not wake up the day after Election Day with any regrets. I’m asking you now: can I count on you to stand with me and chip in $3 to invest in our Democrats? Your donation will even be triple-matched up to the DGA’s $250,000 end-of-month goal, and you’ll play a critical role in securing Democratic victories in just 7 days and beyond.

I know that together, we can win this.

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
