Here in Michigan, we have what’s called a Michigan Left: When driving, you often have to hang right before you turn left. This has proven to be more efficient than traditional left turns. And it looks something like this:


In order to turn left, you first need to turn right and then make a U-turn.

Michigan, as a state, has kind of taken our own Michigan Left in the last few years. It was only six years ago that Michigan was red from top to bottom — In 2016, we voted for Trump, and at that time we had a Republican Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Legislature, Supreme Court and congressional delegation.Through hard work and strategic planning, we have flipped all of those leaders and have Democratic majorities in the State Legislature – even though we leaned right there for a minute, we curved back around. Our own “Michigan Left.”

So, what’s the lesson here?

In a swing state like Michigan, sometimes you have to take a turn in the wrong direction before getting on the right path. But in order to keep us going in the right direction in a swing state, we have to put in the work. Good intentions are fine. Having a plan is much, much more critical.

That’s why we've been doing everything we can to take our message directly to voters early by visiting cities and towns all over Michigan and meeting with folks to talk about the issues that matter to them. We are also making early, data-informed decisions about our outreach – when we go up with TV and digital ads, when we hire staff, and how we build a ground game that meets folks where they are.

This is why Elissa always says that the most important time to donate is now: Early support helps us be strategic and intentional about how we’re reaching voters. And it’s especially important now that we have a serious Republican challenger in the race. So, will you make a contribution to help keep us moving in the right direction to defend this open Senate seat and keep Michigan blue?
