Dear Friends,

If I am fortunate enough to earn your vote, I will keep fighting for our kids’ education, Michigan consumers' rights and to help small business and entrepreneurs grow and succeed here in Michigan. As we reinvent ourselves for the 21st century, we must have a first class education system beginning with early childhood programs through higher education.  We need policies that promote job creation, economic development and support for small businesses—policies integral to moving Michigan forward.

It is going to take strong leadership to get Michigan back on track and we need to start by reforming state government.  That’s why I’ll keep fighting to promote fiscal responsibility and hold politicians in both parties accountable.  It's  time we lead by example and share in the sacrifice we’ve forced on everyone including working families, small businesses, law enforcement, and even school kids.

As a lifelong Michigander and mother of two, I understand the importance of good paying jobs and quality schools, I will work hard to make Michigan the best place in the world to grow a business and raise a family.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Whitmer
