Friend,
I feel like we were just saying 2024 was the most important election year of our lifetimes, and now, we’re in the same spot for 2026. Let me explain.
2026 is Michigan’s first opportunity to respond at the ballot box to the Trump administration and Project 2025: the Medicaid cuts for billionaire tax breaks, attacks on public education, cuts to environmental protections, inhumane immigration policies, withdrawing from the World Health Organization, and so much more.
The good news is that Michigan has a massive opportunity to respond in a big way. Michigan has an open Governor’s seat, Secretary of State seat, Attorney General seat, U.S. Senate seat, critical U.S. House seats, AND both chambers of the state legislature on the ballot in 2026.
The stakes for the 2026 election couldn’t be higher, Friend. We need to start organizing right now to build a winning grassroots movement in every corner of the state to ensure Michigan Democrats win big in 2026.
Republicans are going to deny the damage they caused to hardworking Michiganders. That’s why we need to not only elect Democrats up and down the ballot, but hold the GOP accountable for their attacks on health care, food assistance, reproductive rights, voting rights, and so much more.
We are organizing in all 83 counties across Michigan to elect Democrats to maintain our blue trifecta at the state level, flip the U.S. House majority, and take back the U.S. Senate to stop Republicans from stealing from the middle class and giving it to the ultra-wealthy.
It’s time to show the GOP just how strong Michigan Democrats are. When we come together to organize and fight, we can win in Michigan.
