Hello,
Trump's second impeachment trial began in the Senate yesterday. But no matter how it ends, it won't be enough -- because Trump wasn't alone in inciting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Dozens of Republican state legislators joined him in his seditious acts, including Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey.
After news broke that Mike Shirkey told a group of supporters that he thought the U.S. Capitol insurrection was a "hoax" and "prearranged," Chair Lavora Barnes immediately stepped up to hold him accountable -- calling for his resignation.
Mike Shirkey already has a long list of despicable acts, but now he's gone too far. Please pitch in today to ensure insurrectionist Republicans like Mike Shirkey never win another election.

This year, Michigan's statewide elections are on the ballot, with control of the governorship and the entire state legislature up for grabs.
It's also the first test of the new, post-Trump Republican Party - led not by a con man and his enablers, but by extremists like Mike Shirkey and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who've gone all-in on encouraging violent insurrection and cozying up to militia groups.
We're working year-round to kick Republicans like these out of office -- but we need your help. Chip in today and every dollar you donate will go towards training, recruiting, and supporting Democrats who will defend our democracy and defeat these extremists.
Thank you,
Michigan Dems
