Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II

STANDING TALL FOR MICHIGAN

Garlin has dedicated his career to fixing problems for hardworking families. He uses his experience as an organizer and an innovator to get things done for Michiganders across the state. As Lieutenant Governor, Garlin rolls up his sleeves and works to bring our state government into the 21st century.

GOVERNOR WHITMER’S PRIORITIES

Governor Whitmer is focused on getting things done that will make a difference in people’s lives right now. Her administration has invested in job training, created good-paying jobs, and made progress fixing the damn roads and bridges. The governor also made the largest investment in K–12 education in state history and closed the school funding gap—without raising taxes.

MONEY IN POCKETS

Governor Whitmer is working hard to lower costs for Michiganders. In her first term, she secured $400 refund checks for every Michigan driver and pushed for the repeal of the retirement tax to ensure Michigan seniors can keep more of their hard earned income. She has also expanded affordable child care for working families and lowered the cost of prescription drugs like insulin.

ECONOMY & JOBS

Small businesses are the lifeblood of communities, and Governor Whitmer is committed to getting the support they need to stay afloat to help rebuild our economy. She has cut taxes for small businesses and provided over $420 million to support them through the past few years. Governor Whitmer secured nearly 35,000 new auto jobs, including the first new plant in Detroit in nearly 30 years. She has also worked to make Michigan a leader in the semiconductors industry to help solve supply chain issues.

ROADS & BRIDGES

Governor Whitmer has fixed over 16,000 lane miles of roads and more than 1,200 bridges, supporting over 89,000 good-paying construction jobs. She’s putting her foot on the accelerator with a new bipartisan $5 billion infrastructure package that will speed up progress across the state.

EDUCATION

Governor Whitmer’s bipartisan budget made the largest investment in K–12 education in state history and closed the school funding gap—without raising taxes. Under Governor Whitmer’s leadership, Michigan launched programs offering tuition-free community college and job training to adults over age 25 without a degree and frontline workers—making college and skills training accessible to those who can’t afford it.

ACCESS TO SAFE & LEGAL ABORTION

Governor Whitmer is a champion for a woman’s right to choose, because she knows that the decision to start a family shouldn’t be made by a politician. She has taken proactive steps to protect the right to choose in Michigan and ensure Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban never goes back into effect.
