As Governor, I will put a moratorium on data centers until we can get this right. We need to protect our environment, hold corporations accountable, and ensure these projects are done with union labor.

Let's bring high-speed rail to Michigan.

I’ll put a moratorium on data centers until we can protect our water, keep utility bills down, and require they create well-paying union jobs. John James cut their taxes, bought their stocks, and voted 4 times against local control. I’ll put Michigan first.

This or That: ✨Michigan Edition✨

I will never apologize for doing everything I can to ensure every eligible citizen is able to vote. And, I will never back down. 🗳️#MiVoteMatters

I’m running to be Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot. I'm a mom, military spouse, educator — and Michigan’s Secretary of State. I’ve never backed down from a tough fight or hard work. And I know together we can build the future Michiganders deserve.

I fix broken systems because you deserve a government that works just as hard as you do. That’s my life’s work. Watch my first ad, That’s Me:

I still remember waiting tables and counting tips at the end of my shift. Michigan should work for you — not for corporations, and not for special interests. Watch my new ad, "Remember":

Friday fact: only U.S. Citizens vote in U.S. elections. Lots of politicians are wrongly trying to make you think otherwise. Here’s the truth. #teamdemocracy

It's past time we end the unfair rate hikes and modernize our energy grid here in Michigan.

I will stand up to anyone, including the President to protect every Michigander’s right to make their voice heard at the ballot box. I did that as Secretary of State and I will continue to do that as governor.

Trump and John James are pushing tariffs that make building more expensive and drive up housing costs. I have a plan to make housing more affordable: build faster, fight back against reckless tariffs, and make it easier for Michigan families to afford a place to call home.

It’s a party at the polls today! The spirits are high, and we are having a great time as we celebrate democracy. 🗳️ #Election2024

If John James won’t stand up to Trump in Congress, he won’t stand up to him as governor. I will put Michigan at the negotiating table and fight for subnational trade agreements that lower costs for small businesses and Michigan families.

John James will always put Trump and his lies before YOU.

My only agenda is delivering for you — your housing, your healthcare, your wallets, and your future. If you want a leader that will put your needs first over Trump's agenda, join our movement at

Too many Michiganders are forced to make long morning commutes because housing is unaffordable in the communities they serve — but I have a plan to fix that as governor.
