John, my name
is Garlin Gilchrist. I’m a husband, dad to three beautiful kids, software
engineer, lifelong Democrat, and the Lieutenant Governor of Michigan.

State Democrats Committee said I could reach out to you with an important
message:

Today, I’m proud to announce my campaign for Michigan Governor.

[ [link removed] ]I’m about to share why I’m running, but first I have to ask: It’s gonna
take all of us stepping up to keep this seat blue in a battleground state
that Trump won. Will you split a donation between me and State Democrats
Committee to become a Founding Donor and help us jumpstart this campaign?

[ [link removed] ]Chip in: Become a Founding Donor →

I’m a proud Michigander because throughout our history we’ve been
innovators, builders, and problem-solvers. When we see something that’s
broken – we fix it.

That’s exactly what I’ve been proud to do alongside Governor Whitmer for
the past six years.

Together, we’ve delivered free pre-k for all, increased small business
success, protected abortion access, brought more high-quality jobs to
Michigan, reformed our justice system, and expanded broadband access.

But now, with Donald Trump and Elon Musk taking over Washington, our
progress is at risk.

Trump’s agenda is the opposite of Michigan’s problem-solving spirit. He’s
not fixing what’s broken – he’s making things worse.

He’s attacking workers’ rights, defunding public schools, and rolling back
environmental protections – putting Michigan’s future on the line.

Governors are now the last line of defense against Trump’s MAGA trifecta,
and I’m ready to take this fight head-on.

But here’s the reality: Elon Musk poured over $290 MILLION into electing
Trump and MAGA allies, targeting battleground states like Michigan. You
can bet he will do it again.

We don’t have their deep pockets, but we have something stronger – people
power. [ [link removed] ]That’s why we’re launching this campaign with a bold goal:
raising $50,000 in week one to prove we’re ready to fight for a BLUE
Michigan in 2026. Will you split a donation today to help hit our goal and
build a winning campaign?
