Hey John, Governor Gretchen Whitmer here with a quick update.

The Republican trifecta in Washington is putting our fundamental freedoms under threat in new and outrageous ways.

That means Democratic governors – like myself – are the last line of defense, standing up for everything from lower drug prices to stronger reproductive freedoms.

We’re not looking for fights, but we won’t back down from them either, John.

And with 38 governors’ races on the ballot in 2025 and 2026, Republicans are gearing up to attack our blue firewall of governors and implement their extreme agenda in the states.

That means each and every one of us – including you, John – has a critical part to play in defending our rights and protecting our values by electing and reelecting Democratic governors across the country.

Dem govs need you with us – but as of right now, we’re just short of where we need to be with our critical mid-month deadline rapidly approaching. So I’m personally asking today: Can you chip in $3, or whatever you can spare, to the DGA before their May mid-month deadline at midnight? Your gift will have double the impact up to their $75,000 goal – but only until midnight tonight, so please don’t wait.

I appreciate you standing with us in the fight for our freedoms, John.

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
