Michigan, thank you for entrusting me to build the future we deserve as your next governor. We will drive costs down, raise wages up, end corruption, and make Michigan the best place in the nation to call home — together.

Thank you to every veteran who has sacrificed everything to safeguard our families, communities, and freedoms. As the wife of a combat veteran, I know firsthand the bravery and dedication our veterans show to our country — in and out of uniform. This Veterans Day, let’s commit to commemorate our heroes not only in word but through action.

Congratulations to the newly elected Speaker of the House @RanjeevPuri, Senate Majority Leader @darrincamilleri, House Majority Floor Leader @JohnforMI, and Senate Majority Floor Leader @Kevin_Hertel on their elections. These dynamic leaders reflect the new generation of energy, diversity, and history-making nature coming to Lansing. I look forward to working with them to deliver results to the people of Michigan.

Howard Family Bookstore is a pillar of the Puritan Avenue community on Detroit’s west side. Thank you for the tour and the care and support that you give this community every day. Michigan is full of gems like this, and they deserve a state that shows up for them 📚

Two days out from the election and we are focused on three things: lowering costs, raising wages, and protecting the rights and freedoms Michiganders have fought for. The future of our state is on the ballot. Let’s stand together for a Michigan where everyone can thrive. See you at the polls Tuesday!

Team trifecta was up bright and early yesterday to get out the vote and reelect my friend Sen. @Hertelforsenate. When we elect Dems up and down the ballot we will get to work lowering costs, raising wages, and making Michigan the best place to call home.
