It’s been an honor of a lifetime working for

Not only is she the best damn governor in the nation - she’s also one of the best damn people out there.
25 hours until polls close. Vote Whitmer/Gilchrist!
I’m so proud of the team that worked on
@BrandonPresley
’s campaign. They are some of the most dedicated and talented operatives that the Democratic Party has to offer.
We came up short, but it wasn’t because of a lack of blood, sweat and tears from this incredible team.
After over four years with
@gretchenwhitmer
, I’m excited to work with such a phenomenal team to help get her re-elected… this time as the campaign’s political director.
Let’s get it done 💪🏾

Tonight, Republicans chose an anti-abortion (even in the case of rape, incest and health of the mother), Devos backed and paid for, dangerous conspiracy theorist as their nominee.
The choice is clear. We have to re-elect

Earlier this year, I joined
@BrandonPresley
as his campaign manager on his race for governor of Mississippi!
I couldn’t be more proud to work with a team of talented, battle-tested operatives on this race.
Let’s goooooo! 💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you
@BrandonPresley
for having the courage to run for governor, talk about issues that would help people & trusting me to quarter back your campaign.
One day, Mississippi will expand Medicaid and people in the Blackest state in the nation will have access to healthcare.
Katelyn just reminded me of the old adage, “There is a big difference in losing and quitting.” Make no mistake about it, I might have lost last night, but the word “quit” isn’t in my vocabulary. This race was never about me, but about the people of Mississippi. The fight

for reelection.
This marks the first gubernatorial endorsement in the organization’s history.
This is how

announced
@garlin

- energy/momentum (and that still remains true) ⚡️
- 2 people that believe women should make their own health decisions 👏🏾
- 2 people that value public education 📚

@Shernandez4rep
and I today launched our campaign to defeat Gretchen Whitmer. United, we will win and repair the damage she has done to our families, students, and businesses.
No matter who wins the GOP primary for governor today, we know that they are wrong for Michigan. Every one of our opponents is running on dangerous platforms that would set us back, not move us forward.
Today, and for the next 98 days, let’s focus on reelecting
@gretchenwhitmer
!
Three years ago today, this was the
@detroitnews
headline… Michiganders chose
@GovWhitmer
to lead our state.
In 366 days, voters will re-elect Gov. Whitmer because they know in her first term she has been leading with strength and putting Michiganders first.
Happy birthday,
@gretchenwhitmer
!
Thank you for always putting Michigan first and being tough during challenging times.
I may be slightly biased, but I truly believe you’re the best governor in the nation!
Governor Whitmer has arrived on the Michigan House Floor to deliver her 5th State of the State Address.
The difference from her first four? This time she has a democratic majority in the legislature, with
@LtGovGilchrist
@WinnieBrinks
and
@SpeakerJoeTate
behind her.
Since being sworn in as governor,
@gretchenwhitmer
has:
✅ secured an additional $1B in funding for public safety
✅ increased revenue sharing
✅ signed bipartisan legislation to boost the Secondary Road Patrol by 50%
“Presley has raised more campaign cash than Reeves this year, and he’s attracting larger and more diverse crowds than any Democrat running for Mississippi governor in a generation.”
8 days. Let’s fight for a better day in Mississippi on Nov. 7th!

Ready to partner with y’all and get it done 🤩
Couldn’t you have just asked your bestie, Betsy DeVos, to give you the money
@TudorDixon
?
I mean, she’s already bankrolling your failing campaign (& you’re already doing her biding). Would have been a heck of a lot easier than breaking the law 😬

We ran the table last night. The Gretchening was in full effect 😎
“In a sign of her strength, Whitmer increased her margin of victory in Macomb County — a battleground county, in the eastern part of the state, that Trump won in 2016 and 2020 — winning by 5 percent Tuesday night, compared with 3.5 percent in 2018.”
Absolutely disgusting and dangerous comments from GOP gubernatorial candidate Garrett Soldano. Unfortunately, he's not the only one with extreme views like this -- every candidate in the GOP primary has said they will undermine a woman’s right to choose.
Garrett Soldano, a GOP candidate for governor in Michigan, says we must inspire women who have been raped to understand how heroic they are in giving birth and see that "God put them in this moment."
They don't know "that baby inside them may be the next president."
NEWS:
@GovWhitmer
announced, today, that the MI Catastrophic Claims Association has acted upon her call to return surplus funds to Michigan drivers.
In Q2 of next year, every driver has will receive $400/car. Putting money back in the pockets of Michiganders is just good policy!
NEWS: Today,
@GretchenWhitmer
became the 1st governor to file a lawsuit to protect a woman’s right to abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court signaled it may overturn Roe v. Wade.
As the governor said, a woman’s health, not politics, should the drive important medical decisions 💪🏾
DETROIT:

What a disgrace.
Michigan deserves to be an early presidential primary state. This is great news for Michigan’s economy, Michiganders, and the country.
I’m proud to be a Michigander and I’m proud to be a Democrat!

Totten is one of the smartest and thoughtful guys I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with… this is so deserving. The people of Michigan are lucky to have him in this role.
Hearing President Joe Biden will nominate Mark Totten, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's legal counsel, to be the U.S. attorney in western Michigan. Announcement could come later today.
There are times while working for

that simply stop me in my tracks and make me grateful to work for such an incredible leader.
The governor vetoing these horrendous bills at the NAACP Dinner, a group that represents people that look like me (who have historically…
At the Detroit NAACP dinner tonight, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoes four bills she says limit voting rights. She says the other 35 will "meet the same fate" if they make it to her desk.
Grillin’ with Gretchen in Bay City, Saginaw, and Flint yesterday was a huge success!
Between these stops and our events in Mt. Pleasant and Midland,

Countdown 💪🏾
Although we’re waiting for more information, I’m thinking about and praying for all the students, faculty and staff on

When I addressed my alcoholism, my union supported me.
When I was diagnosed with childhood cancer, my father's union ensured we had medical coverage.
And when it was time to pay the bills, my family had peace of mind through a good paycheck.
How has your union supported you?

🚨FIRST TV AD🚨
Today, our campaign launched our first TV ad where
@BrandonPresley
tells the story of the values his hardworking mama taught him and how his upbringing led him to work for Mississippi families like the one he grew up in.
WATCH:
NEWS: This month, a poll was conducted that shows
@BrandonPresley
tied with the very unpopular incumbent, Tate Reeves — despite 40% of the electorate still unable to rate him.
Today is starting off strong — I paid off my car! A few hundred dollars back in my pocket monthly* 😌🚗
*Knocks on wood because we all know car trouble follows good news 😬
Kelly Rossman-McKinney, pioneer of the idea of a public relations firm in the Michigan Capitol community, mentor to too many people to count and a powerhouse in state government and politics across five decades, died today. She had cancer.
On behalf of all Michiganders, I thank Dr. Joneigh Khaldun for her years of service to our state. She has been a steadfast leader through one of the most difficult periods in our lives, and I’m proud to have stood side-by-side with her to keep Michiganders safe.
People are feeling the rise of inflation so much right now - from gas prices to groceries - and
@gretchenwhitmer
wants to help alleviate some of that pain.
That's why, today, she's proposing to send a $500 rebate to hardworking Michigan families.
NEWS: The Michigan Association of Police Organizations (MAPO) is endorsing Gov.

Keeping them all in my prayers 🙏🏾

"Black people are lazy"
"Islam is the ideology of a child molester"
"The Black race has lax morals"
"Black women think breeding is a form of government employment"
This is who
@TudorDixon
decides to surround herself with and it's disgusting.
🚨NEW AD ALERT!🚨
Tate Reeves is as corrupt as they get. The facts:
👉🏾He helped get his PERSONAL TRAINER $1.3M of taxpayer dollars
👉🏾When the special investigator got too close, he FIRED them
👉🏾He has taken over $1.7M from people tied to the scandal
Since taking office,
@GovWhitmer
has invested nearly $4.75 billion to repair, replace, and rehabilitate nearly 13,200 lane miles of road and 903 bridges.
In 2018, she heard what Michiganders wanted and since taking office she’s been delivering.
