"I'm Governor Gretchen Whitmer and I'm asking for your help today."

John – it’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer here.

The past six months have been tough – Republicans in Washington have worked hard to terminate healthcare, jack up costs, and roll back our fundamental freedoms.

But let me tell you about something that you might have missed: here in Michigan, we expanded reproductive freedom. We passed a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution, and we made sure our laws match our values.

I’m getting to work to tackle issues like reproductive freedom and deliver for Michiganders. But this work can’t happen nationwide without input from supporters like you. So please, join my Reproductive Rights Focus Group for the DGA today. Your input now will help shape our strategy around this issue ahead of 38 critical governors’ races this year and in 2026.

I’ll need 25,000 grassroots supporters – including you, John – to participate ahead of our deadline at midnight tonight.

John, I’m not standing alone.

Democratic governors across the country have protected reproductive rights in their states by signing legislation to codify abortion rights into state law, ensuring medical professionals are safe from extradition, safeguarding abortion medication in the midst of Republican threats, and taking executive action to protect reproductive health and veto dangerous abortion bans.

We have the power to fight back, not only in our own states, but nationwide – including the two governors’ races in New Jersey and Virginia this November.

These will be the first two governors’ in NJ and VA since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022 – and Democratic candidates Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are tough, experienced leaders who are ready to fight like hell for our fundamental freedoms.

It’s clear, John: the future of reproductive freedom depends on the work we do this year and in 2026 to elect pro-choice Democrats who will protect reproductive health care from far-right attacks.

But that starts with having the right strategy, John. Please, will you take a few minutes to respond to my Reproductive Rights Focus Group? With just hours to go until our deadline, we need you to act now.

Thanks for fighting alongside us,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan

Gretchen Whitmer is the Governor of Michigan. She was reelected in 2022 by a double-digit margin because she’ll never stop fighting for working families. She has helped create thousands of good-paying jobs, signed the largest infrastructure plan in state history with funding to fix the damn roads, protected reproductive freedom, and made the largest education investment in Michigan history.

Will you answer her call to action and begin her Reproductive Rights Focus Group for the DGA before midnight tonight, John?
