Hi there it’s me, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, with an important update on my race in Michigan.

Time and time again Michigan races prove unpredictable. President Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by less than 3% in 2020, and this year we expect my race for governor to be one of the closest races in the country.

With just 30 days until Election Day, I need your support today. Please will you chip in $3 – or whatever you can – to elect governors who will serve as a brick wall against dangerous attacks on our most fundamental rights? All donations to the DGA will be triple-matched up to their $375,000 72-hour goal.

While I’m fighting to defend the progress we’ve made, from fixing our roads, investing record amounts in our children’s education, and fighting like hell to defend access to safe and legal abortion, the other side is hell-bent on taking our country backward.

And this isn’t just happening in Michigan. In states like Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, governors’ races will determine the future of our most fundamental rights. Whether abortion is protected or criminalized, whether the right to vote is protected, and whether our very democracy remains intact.

We know these races are going to come down to the wire. Right now, special interests are spending millions of dollars to attack me and my fellow governors. To beat them and their big-money allies, we’ll need a surge of grassroots support.

So I’m asking, team: The Democratic Governors Association is counting on grassroots supporters like you to elect strong leaders who will protect reproductive rights. Please rush a $3 gift right now – and have your donation triple-matched – to help them close the gap and hit their $375,000 goal Tuesday at midnight.

Thank you for your support,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
