Hi there, it’s Gretchen Whitmer reaching out for the first time this year.

I’m honored to begin 2026 as Vice Chair of the DGA – and with thirty-six races on the map this November, I’m ready to get our momentum going.

​​If you’re ready to join this pivotal fight to elect Dem govs, please chip in $3 to the DGA right now. Your donation will even be doubled up to our $50,000 Mid-Month goal – but only until midnight tomorrow.

As Governor of Michigan, I’ve fought everyday for my people – protecting their health care, making their lives more affordable, expanding their reproductive rights, and investing in their education – just like my fellow Dem govs across the country.

Fundamental freedoms like these will be on the ballot this November in thirty-six states across the nation. That’s 80% of Americans voting for governor. And with all the chaos and division coming from Republicans in Washington – Dem govs are our last line of defense.

That’s why we need all hands on deck in this fight.

I just took a look at your internal DGA supporter record, and I noticed your first Mid-Month donation of 2026 is still pending:

Team: we can’t win these races without your help.

​​So please, will you chip in $3 before midnight? Your donation will be matched up to our $50,000 Mid-Month goal, helping us elect Dem govs all across the country and expand our blue firewall.

Last year, we secured two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey – proving that when we fight together, we win. Now, we’re going to carry that momentum into the thirty-six governor’s races on the ballot this year.

Thank you for your support,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
DGA Vice Chair
