My plan for the Secretary of State’s office is simple: make it work better for Michiganders. Make services more accessible, improve efficiency, and make your lives easier.

Even though I’m 6’4, a couple members of our ticket admittedly stand taller than me. Looking (up) at you, Garlin Gilchrist for Secretary of State and Abbas Alawieh for State Senate. But we all stand strong for UAW & its working men and women. Great to join Region 1A this afternoon.

The choice is clear. The Secretary of State plays a critical role in protecting Michigan’s elections, personal data, and access to government. I am focused on standing TALL for Michiganders, protecting voters, and making government work for the people it represents.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

CORRUPT!!! Trump is actively trading bonds -- over $100 million since Jan 1 per the Office of Government Ethics, in banks and local governments his White House affects. He wins or loses personally on how they perform. That’s corruption, and families can’t afford its cost.  #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

When your chest hurts, a 2½-month wait for a cardiologist is terrifying. Fox pretends America has no wait-time crisis. Republicans defend the system that leaves patients waiting and bills growing. Enough with the excuses. Protect our care. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

If Justice Alito retires, he could well be replaced by a 40-year-old ultra-conservative. It’s no overstatement to say the next 50 years of American jurisprudence are on the ballot this fall. To provide a check on Trump’s nominees, we need a Democratic Senate. Vote accordingly.

Step 1: start with your voter registration.  Check that your name & address are current, then tell 10 people to check theirs, especially friends in states making voting harder.  Confusion keeps people home; being ready protects your say.  #LetsGetVoteReady social.demcast.com/s/3xeBV8eM

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.
