Suggesting anything else is a reckless attempt to distract from the real issues facing people of Michigan: making sure they can afford to live and thrive in Michigan.

Happy Labor Day, Michigan! I was proud to join the Teamsters in today’s parade to celebrate the working people whose strength and solidarity built and keep our state moving forward. Unions built Michigan and I’ll always stand with them and put workers first.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

A college degree shouldn’t be a barrier for Michiganders to find a path to the middle class, afford a house, and put food on their tables. As governor, I will start a state fund in my first budget to bring toge to offer every Michigan student job training and paid apprenticeships in high school.
