Friend,
John James just cashed a $5 million check from the billionaire DeVos family to fund his campaign for Governor. He's brazenly taking millions from a billionaire family while cutting Medicaid to our most vulnerable to pay for their tax cut.
The DeVos family thinks they can buy the Governor’s race in Michigan after they’ve funded attacks on public education, reproductive freedom, and workers’ rights in Michigan for decades.
Let me be clear: They’re backing John James because he’s proven he’ll do the bidding of billionaires, no matter the cost to Michigan families. John James is eager to pass Trump's budget and gut Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
He won’t fight for the middle class — just his billionaire backers. And now, he wants to be Governor.
We’re not letting Trump’s loyal foot soldiers, who are bought and paid for by billionaire donors, take Michigan’s Governor’s office. But to stop him, we need to start building right now.
I’m counting on Democrats like you who will stand up to John James and the DeVos family today. Make a contribution using this link or the buttons below to fuel the MDP’s work to build a winning grassroots strategy and help a Democrat win this critical race. [[link removed]]

This $5 million contribution is just the beginning. Trump’s allies and right-wing Super PACs are gearing up to flood Michigan with dark money in 2026. The only way we win is if grassroots supporters like you rise up and fuel the critical work we need to do to help Democrats win.
We’re organizing to stop John James from gutting Medicaid, handing tax breaks to the ultra-rich, and rolling back everything Democrats have delivered in Michigan.
Let’s show John James that billionaires don’t decide our elections — voters do. Make a contribution now and let’s get to work! [[link removed]]
Thank you,
Curtis Hertel
Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party
