Housing costs are out of control and the problem is clear: we simply don’t build enough housing.
As governor, I’ll make it easier and faster to build a home in this state. We can cut red tape and get it done.

Transit, healthcare, and the best places to run a marathon in Michigan were top of mind for GP Mother Runners. Thanks for having me this weekend, ladies!

It was a great day on the Sunrise Side hearing directly from community members in Alcona, Alpena, and Iosco. Their focus is clear: Invest in rural communities, protect the Great Lakes, and make sure every family has a fair shot.

I’m proud to be a member of the Democratic Party because we see injustices, we see wrongs, and then we do something about it. And whether it’s protecting our freedoms, funding our schools, or lowering the cost of your healthcare, I am going to fight for you as Michigan governor.

Today is World Kindness Day, a chance for us to take a beat and think about the importance of showing kindness to each other in everyday moments. Lend a hand, check in on someone, or donate your time to a community in need. Everything we do shows our children what it means to care for one another.

Thank you to the MSU Dems for a great night of conversation! I learned so much from listening to all of you. This next generation of leaders is ready to turn their ideas into action, and our state will be stronger because of it. Go green!

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of my husband, Ryan, and the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who’ve served with honor. It was special to stop by the Michigan Heroes Museum today to see his exhibit — a reminder of the 1% of Americans who put their lives on the line to protect the other 99%.

I’m willing to work with anyone, no matter their party, if it means making life better for Michigan families. That means free child care, clean and affordable water, and a world-class education. But I have no patience for any politician who puts their self-interests ahead of the people of Michigan.

This morning, I ran the 4Star Veterans Day Race in Detroit to honor our veterans. I’m proud to be the wife of a veteran, and I know we must always do everything we can to serve and protect those who’ve given so much to serve and protect all of us.

He taught me to see things that appeared to be working just fine and "fix them anyway” to work better for the people.
Paul was an icon in the sports world, for me he was a true friend, mentor, and democracy ally. Rest in peace, dear Paul. We will carry on the fight for the people in your honor.

The Lapeer Dems know how to show up, work hard, and fight for the future of Michigan!

Government should always serve the people.
🏠We need affordable housing so every Michigander can have a safe place to call home
👧FREE childcare for every parent
🔍And Transparency in our government
When government actually works for the people it serves, we move Michigan forward.

One year from now, Michigan will make a choice about the kind of future we want. The work we do between now and then — organizing, and standing up for one another, will shape that future. Thank you to everyone that showed up tonight to make that future real and give everyone a fair shot to thrive.

We’re building a Democratic ticket in 2026 that’s going to deliver affordable housing, fight for our healthcare, and protect Michiganders’ rights and freedoms. I’m honored to be in this fight with @jeremymoss.bsky.social Let’s go!

Families across Michigan shouldn’t have to wonder how they’ll put food on the table because the Republican run federal government can’t get its act together. As governor, I’ll work with anyone to make sure our families don’t go hungry.

I’m honored to have the support of State Senator Dayna Polehanki—a true champion for Michigan’s students, teachers, and public schools. When we invest in education, we invest in our future. Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure every child in Michigan has access to a great public education.

I’m so honored to be recognized by my alma mater, the place that taught me the power of sisterhood and service. Wellesley instilled in me the belief that when women support one another, we not only make an impact, but become the leaders who bring about real, lasting change.

Great coffee, incredible breakfasts, and the best sandwiches in Macomb County! I found all that and more while visiting Uncle Harry’s Gourmet Meats, Coffee Break Cafe, and 5Star Restaurant. Costs are higher than ever, but small business owners and their teams are working hard to keep things going.
