THE FIRST OF OUR PRO-CHOICE CHAMPIONS
Gretchen Whitmer has served as the 49th governor of Michigan since 2019. Prior to that she served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006 and in the Michigan Senate from 2006 to 2015.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Michigan State Unversity’s law school and worked as an associate attorney for Dickinson Wright PLCC before being elected to the state legislature. She also worked as a lecturer at Michigan State University in 2015 and prosecutor for Ingham County in 2016.
Whitmer gained national attention, when in 2013, during a debate on abortion, she shared her experience of being sexually assaulted. During the pandemic she has again gained prominence nationally by her courageous handling of these health issues and for her being the target of a kidnap/murder plot because of her courageous stands.
Michigan needs her courage and strength. She is committed to protecting reproductive rights, increasing economic opportunity and protecting natural resources for future generations.
Whitmer is one of the GOP’s top targets for defeat in 2022. We cannot let this happen. Support her re-election bid! VOTE for WHITMER!
