1. And take a bow Michiganders!

We have re-elected a strong female governor for a second term whose lieutenant governor is the first black man to serve that post in state history.

We have re-elected a strong woman as SOS by a landslide who will be a strong candidate to replace Whitmer in 2026.

We have re-elected a gay woman as our attorney general.

We have enshrined abortion rights into our state constitution by a landslide vote.

We have enshrined ease of voting into our constitution by a landslide.

We have maintained a 4-3 advantage in our state Supreme Court.

Whitmer named the first black woman to sit on the Michigan Supreme Court.

The Michigan Supreme Court voted unanimously to name a woman the first female chief justice in state history.

The state House flipped to Blue for the first time in 14 years.

The democrats in the state House elected the first black man to serve as speaker of the house.

The State Senate flipped to blue for the first time in 40 years.

Both US Senators from Michigan are democrats.

Grand Rapids elected a strong woman to be our first democrat US House rep in 50 years, flipping the seat from red to blue.

And in 2016, Trump won this state, we had all 3 state executive posts in red hands. We had both houses of the state with Republican near super majorities. And the US house delegation was 8-6 Republican.

It can happen in other states. Wisconsin, Ohio, heck, even Florida! Michigan was purple and trending red just 6 years ago and now is all blue. Now get to work, Michigan will help show you the way.

3. Dems flipped GR??! Fantastic, hadn't heard that.

Big fan of AG Dana Nessel… she is an intelligent, courageous trailblazer, a persuasive communicator… and hopefully will move on to national leadership.
