The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes.
“Today’s vote by the Republican-led State House to adopt the Unlock Michigan petition hamstrings any administration’s ability to respond swiftly to deadly global health pandemics. Unlock Michigan established a disturbing pattern of lying and deceit when it came to collecting signatures, even hiring known criminals to push this reckless proposal that has the potential to put the health of all Michiganders at risk. The Michigan Democratic Party is watching closely and will hold the lawmakers that vote for the adoption of this petition accountable for their negligent, short-sighted, and dangerous support of the Unlock Michigan petition.”
