John, it's Gretchen Whitmer. I know it's a busy time of year, but do you have a moment to read this email?

I want to start by personally thanking you. Because supporters like you believed in our Democratic governors and nominees, and because you stepped up for this team time and time again, we celebrated some truly historic wins on Election Day.

Here in Michigan, your support helped power my campaign to a decisive victory – triumphing against a dangerous extremist in a tough election. And in the key battlegrounds of Kansas, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, we elected and reelected strong Democratic governors who will stand with me to lead our country forward, protect our democracy, and act as a blue wall against right-wing attacks on our nation’s most fundamental rights.

But we can't slow down now, John: There are multiple governors' races on the ballot in 2023, and we can't let up now. We need early grassroots investments heading into the new year to defend our blue firewall against new attacks. So please, will you donate to the Democratic Governors Association so that we can hit our urgent year-end goal? All donations will be MATCHED up to our $100,000 end-of-year goal, and victories next year will ONLY happen if people like you invest in Democratic campaigns now.

Listen, I know that it's tempting to tune out politics this time of year and delete emails like this one. But you can bet that our opponents aren't taking a single day off.

After our victories this fall, our opponents are working overtime to undermine our progress, destroy our blue firewall, and sow division among us. Their losses on Election Day have only emboldened them. Even as you read this email, they are doing everything they can to destroy our right to abortion and push our country backward.

John: We cannot let that happen. We cannot let them gain the advantage for even a single moment. You have my word that I will fight against extremism – but this isn't a battle I can win on my own.

That's why I'm emailing you during the holiday season, and it's why I'm asking you one final time: Please, will you rush a donation before our year-end deadline so that we can enter the new year on strong footing? All donations will be MATCHED up to our $100,000 end-of-year goal.

Thank you for standing with me.

Sending warm wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan

Gretchen Whitmer is the Governor of Michigan. Since she was elected, she has helped create thousands of good-paying jobs, signed a $5 billion infrastructure plan with funding to fix the damn roads, and made the largest education investment in Michigan’s history.

She just won reelection, but her battle against extremism continues. Will you chip in $3 or whatever you can today to help Democratic governors like Gretchen Whitmer protect our blue firewall? All donations to the DGA will be matched up to our $100,00 end-of-year goal.
