Hi John, it’s Gretchen Whitmer here, Governor of Michigan and new Vice Chair of the DGA. I know you’re getting a lot of emails right now, so I’ll keep it quick.

2025 has made one thing crystal clear: with Republicans in power in Washington, Democratic governors have never been more important. We’re the ones protecting fundamental freedoms in our states, standing up for working families, and blocking extremist policies from taking hold.

Governor Andy Beshear and I were just elected Chair and Vice Chair of the DGA, and we’re ready to fight like hell to elect Dem govs next year – but there’s no part of this work that happens without supporters like you chipping in when it counts.

​​I wouldn’t be reaching out if I didn’t believe in this grassroots team to help us close the year out strong. John, will you chip in $3 before midnight? Your donation will even be tripled up to the DGA’s $200,000 End-of-Quarter goal, helping us elect Dem govs all across the country – but only until Wednesday at midnight.

It’s my honor to be the Governor of Michigan. It’s my honor to serve as the Vice Chair of the Democratic Governors Association. And it’s my honor to have your support, John.

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
