We know that Michiganders want us to pass relief for high inflation, continue to find ways to lower costs, attract more businesses, make investments in education, and yes, keep fixing those damn roads!
We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s keep our foot on the accelerator.

Last year, I called on to remove restrictions on safe and effective abortion medication, mifepristone. Today, it's getting done.
What does this mean? Medication abortion will be available at pharmacies with a prescription. A great step forward for reproductive freedom.

Abortion pills can soon be purchased at local U.S. pharmacies with a prescription, the FDA said Tuesday, a move that could greatly expand access. nyti.ms/3Gci97P

How do you know a Michigander? Well, there are a few telltale signs.
Like showing off our hometown with pride by pointing to our hands…or mittens. 👀

Michiganders are tough and never shy away from hard work. We’re competitive. Even if you count us out, look down on us, or fly over us, I promise you: we will defy your expectations.
Over the next 4 years we will dig deep and get things done. It’s what Michiganders do.

If you’ve got that underdog spirit, your future is in Michigan. Those of us who are lucky enough to be Michiganders know that.

Over the last four years, our state has shown that we can come together to tackle the toughest challenges, perhaps the toughest in our lifetimes. I'm more confident than ever that our state’s future is bright because of the tough, hardworking people who call this place home.

A college education is a great path for many, but it's not a path for every person. You can make a damn good living as a welder, plumber, or electrician. When we provide paths to skills training and good-paying jobs in skilled trades, we build a strong workforce for the future.

Michiganders who serve in uniform sacrifice precious time with their families during the holiday season to keep us safe. As we gather with loved ones, I encourage every Michigander to reflect on and honor our service members and their families and pray for their safe return home.

Never pass snowplows. You could get caught in a “snow cloud,” or be hit by the wing plow (a plow that extends from the side of the truck). Slow down and stay 6 to 10 vehicle lengths behind them. Get more winter driving safety tips at Michigan.gov/WinterDriving
