John,

First, I want to say thank you.

Because of this grassroots team, we reached our April end-of-month fundraising goal! I’m thankful for the way you keep showing up, especially in an election year.

And today, on May Day, I’m thinking about why this work matters.

Michigan was built by workers. By the people who put in long shifts, care for our families, teach our kids, build our roads, staff our hospitals, and keep our communities moving.

As governor, I’ve always believed that if you work hard, you should be able to build a good life.

That’s why we repealed Michigan’s anti-worker “right-to-work” law, restored prevailing wage, expanded paid sick leave, and fought to make sure workers have the dignity, safety, and respect they deserve.

And at a time when chaos from National Republicans in Washington, including reckless tariffs, is driving up the cost of groceries, gas, and other essentials, that fight matters even more.

Here in Michigan, we’re doing what we can to give families a little breathing room, including taking action to help save drivers money at the pump.

That’s what Fight Like Hell PAC is working toward: a future where working people have more power, families can breathe a little easier, and leaders stay focused on the people they serve.

I’m grateful to have you with us.

Thank you,

Gretchen
