Unions built the middle class and built Michigan. @UAW Local 2093 members are showing us how to strengthen both. My full statement on the hard-fought tentative agreement reached between UAW 2093 and American Axle in Three Rivers.

Michigan has been decisive in recent presidential elections. The person who wins this race in 2026 will run our election in 2028. My MAGA Republican opponent will be accountable to Donald Trump and Donald Trump alone. As Secretary of State, I will be accountable to the people of Michigan and will make sure every Michigander has their constitutional rights protected.

I am honored to have the support of the @MichiganLCV ! As Secretary of State, I will continue to #StandTALL to protect Michigan’s natural beauty and resources by defending the democratic process that gives Michiganders a voice in our future. That means protecting the freedom to vote, shining a light on dark money and special interests, and making sure the people of Michigan — not polluters, billionaires, or powerful corporations — have the final say in the decisions that shape our state.

I was proud to #StandTALL on the picket line with my brothers and sisters at UAW Local 2093 in Three Rivers. It’s long past time that they get the fair wages and benefits they have more than earned and have been waiting on for more than a decade. I’ve got your back.

In 2026, Democrats are going to compete everywhere, and that includes St. Clair County. Thank you to the St. Clair County Democrats for hosting me at their annual Pasta for the People event.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan Bangladeshi American Democratic Caucus. Michigan is strongest when every community has a voice, every eligible voter can make that voice heard, and every person can trust that their government will deliver for them and serve their needs. #StandTALL

@UAW Local 2093 members have negotiated in good faith for months. Now, they are standing together and demanding what they have earned. I was proud to stand with UAW members when they kicked off negotiations for a record contract back in March, and I am proud to #StandTALL with them today as they fight for the fair wages, strong benefits, safe workplaces, and respect every worker deserves.

Proud to #StandTALL with UAW Region 1 at today's Blessing of the Bikes. 🏍️ As your next Secretary of State, I'll make sure the SOS office works for Michigan's bikers, from titles and registrations to motorcycle endorsements and licenses. The open road starts at the Secretary of State’s office, and I'm committed to making that front door as easy to walk through as possible.

A new poll shows our campaign leading MAGA Anthony Forlini 44%–40% in the race for Secretary of State. People want someone who will protect their rights, defend our elections from conspiracy theorists, and deliver efficient, modern services they can count on. Let’s get to work.

Michigan, you have just a few days to sign the Michigan Money out of Politics petition. Let’s make sure this important initiative gets on the ballot so we can eliminate dark money and create a system that works for you, not giant corporations and utility companies. Click the link below to sign

Congratulations to @ChedrickGreene on a well deserved, and hard earned big win last night. Your campaign set the tone and we’re going to carry this momentum all the way to November when we elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

This year’s Detroit Cinco de Mayo parade was incredible! 🎉🇲🇽 The history. The pride. The culture. This is what make Southwest Detroit so special. I'm committed to fighting for and protecting the rights and votes of my neighbors in Detroit and across this state and will do so as Secretary of State.
