Team,

John James says he’s running for Governor because he thinks Michigan lacks “strong, competent leadership.”

That’s a bold claim from someone who won’t even hold a town hall.

Let’s be clear: Under Democratic leadership, Michigan has:
✅ Created jobs and grown our economy
✅ Expanded health care access and protected reproductive freedom
✅ Defended our democracy and advanced good government reformsMeanwhile, John James has:
❌ Failed to show up for his own constituents and refused to hold town halls
❌ Aligned himself with Donald Trump’s extreme agenda that puts billionaires first
❌ Worked to gut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security

Now, he wants a promotion to lead the entire state of Michigan? Hell no.

We can’t let John James bring Trump’s dangerous agenda to Michigan. That’s why we’re building to defend everything Michigan Democrats have accomplished and elect a Democrat who will continue making Michigan a better place to live for all Michiganders.

Will you stand with the Michigan Democratic Party right now by making a contribution so that together, we can defeat John James and elect a Democrat who will continue to lead Michigan forward? [[link removed]]
