This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of my husband, Ryan, and the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who’ve served with honor. It was special to stop by the Michigan Heroes Museum today to see his exhibit — a reminder of the 1% of Americans who put their lives on the line to protect the other 99%.

I’m willing to work with anyone, no matter their party, if it means making life better for Michigan families. That means free child care, clean and affordable water, and a world-class education. But I have no patience for any politician who puts their self-interests ahead of the people of Michigan.

Government should always serve the people.

🏠We need affordable housing so every Michigander can have a safe place to call home
👧FREE childcare for every parent
🔍And Transparency in our government

When government actually works for the people it serves, we move Michigan forward.

Families across Michigan shouldn’t have to wonder how they’ll put food on the table because the Republican run federal government can’t get its act together. As governor, I’ll work with anyone to make sure our families don’t go hungry.

You can’t trust corporate backed politicians, but you can always trust me.

Happy Birthday, Jocelyn! Join us in sending her a virtual hug and a big thank you for her compassion, leadership, and relentless drive to make Michigan stronger every single day.

Even on the picket line, there are moments of joy, laughter, and hope. 

But behind every smile is a story of nurses fighting for fair pay, safe staffing, and the dignity every caregiver and patient deserves.

There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing Michiganders all across the state standing up for their future. This is what our democracy is all about.

A healthy democracy  requires each of us to show up for each other, speak out against injustice at every level, and stay engaged and committed.
