This isn't just about 2026, this is about 2028, when we will need a governor in Michigan who will know how to protect democracy.
We can protect public safety and personal privacy when government is transparent about how it uses technology and accountable for the power it has.
We've done more in Michigan than any other state to ensure that our rolls, our voter rolls, are accurate.
I've done that as Secretary of State. And notably, when my opponent lost his last statewide race in 2020, he did not stand by the will of the voters.
