*Gov. Whitmer Statement on Guilty Verdict in Kidnapping Trial*?

?

*LANSING, Mich.* ? Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued the following statement after a guilty verdict was reached in the kidnapping trial.??

?

?I want to thank the prosecutors and law enforcement officers for their hard work and my family, friends, and staff for their support.??

?

?Today?s verdicts prove that violence and threats have no place in our politics and those who seek to divide us will be held accountable. They will not succeed.??

?

?But we must also take a hard look at the status of our politics. Plots against public officials and threats to the FBI are a disturbing extension of radicalized domestic terrorism that festers in our nation, threatening the very foundation of our republic.??

?

?I ran for office because I love my fellow Michiganders and my home state with all my heart. I always will. I cannot?I will not?let extremists get in the way of the work we do. They will never break my unwavering faith in the goodness and decency of our people.?

?

?I will stay focused on getting things done for the people of Michigan.??
