Let’s take tonight’s landslide victory and deliver another one this fall.
You all know who I’ll work for. All of you, and every Michigander in this state. Not the highest bidder, not corporate interests, not Donald Trump, you.
Tonight marks our opportunity to grow our coalition to include citizens in every corner of our state who believe, as we do, that the power of the people must always be greater than the people in power. My life’s work is about making that…
As always, we welcome requests for information about Michigan’s secure, fair and accurate elections. We draw the line, however, at sharing anything private that someone could use to threaten, bully, doxx or harass the bipartisan…
Our response to the RNC’s FOIA provides available information responsive to their inquiry. It also redacts personal and private information of citizens who signed up to serve their communities to protect them from potential threats or…
I am committed to making Michigan a place where everyone can thrive, and that starts with affordable living and quality education.
Michigan’s elections are transparent, accurate, accessible, and secure.
On the same day as the Postmaster General’s testimony, two federal courts affirmed that the administration shouldn’t ask election officials to violate one federal law to comply with another.
The law cannot be any clearer– states run elections, the federal government is not entitled to Michigan voters’ personal data, and the president cannot change election law with the stroke of a pen.
I’m grateful to members of the Senate for their perseverance and leadership. I now urge House lawmakers to pass the MVRA and send these essential legal protections to the Governor’s desk.
We’re going to be doing events like this all across the city, and really demonstrating that power of sisterhood, that power of friendship.
It's my job. That's our job as professional election administrators, to make sure it's easy to vote, hard to cheat and that we all stand by the will of the people.
It's my job... to make sure it's easy to vote, hard to cheat and that we all stand by the will of the people, whatever that may be.
It's my job as professional election administrators, to make sure it's easy to vote, hard to cheat and that we all stand by the will of the people, whatever that may be.
Yes, without hesitation. I mean that's my job. That's our job as professional election administrators, to make sure it's easy to vote, hard to cheat and that we all stand by the will of the people, whatever that may be.
We are doing everything we can to ensure that noncitizens are not able to vote.
The results of meritless requests and meritless accusations and false rhetoric is that people show up on my doorstep, when I am inside trying to hang Christmas decorations with my 4-year-old son, screaming into a megaphone, 'You are a…
I will never apologize for doing everything I can to ensure every eligible citizen is registered to vote.
I am proud this includes working with our Detroit Lions and Detroit Pistons as well as NASCAR to meet people where they are and bring voting opportunities, voter registration opportunities, and nonpartisan election information to citizens…
It is not a partisan role, and despite it being an elected position, it is not a political role.
My responsibility is to ensure our elections are accessible, safe, secure, and that the results are accurate.
Despite this politically charged environment that we are in, in Michigan, we are working together to make data-driven decisions that preserve the integrity of our voting system.
We are going to be a country that lives up to our ideals, stands up for the voice and votes of every citizen, and marches forward anyway.
