On yesterday’s press call, Michigan Dems warned of the threats to democracy MAGA Republicans at every level of the ballot pose
LANSING — In case you missed it, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, US Senator Debbie Stabenow, US Representative Haley Stevens, state House Speaker Joe Tate, and Michigan Dems First Vice Chair state Representative Jason Morgan uplifted the stakes of the election 100 days out. Each speaker emphasized the threats posed by MAGA MIGOP members running for the state legislature, the US House and Senate, and, of course, the extremist-in-chief, Donald Trump himself.
While we have already built out strong campaign infrastructure, Michigan Dems are working every day to grow this campaign to unite more people to defeat Donald Trump this November. With 50 coordinated campaign offices, over a hundred campaign staff, and thousands of volunteers, this campaign has made hundreds of thousands of voter contact attempts — and we’re not stopping now.
These leaders proved that no matter how hard we’ve worked, it is our job to show up every day from now until November to defeat the MAGA fanatics, led by Donald Trump, and their extremist agenda that isn’t right for Michiganders and their families.
