Proud to be supporting the best for MI.
(And I don't even live there..🇺🇸 )

She is also well supported by Planned Parented & many women & family groups.

Love her to pieces!

She runs a clean campaign, and with her long list of creds & achievements on behalf of the best for MI, she has no need nor desire to take the low path of smears & mockery.

And of course we had the 2016 primary. They have an open primary so any number of scenarios could play out.

Better than being left to run a campaign of sabatoge.

There's always the possibility of upset.
UAW endorsef her for a reason.
And it is because of her fight FOR Unions & AGAINST the GOP Right-to-work, union busting proposals.

She earned their respect & their trust.

She's a great individual, intelligent, a uniter and not a divider, a candidate for all Michigan. She has a great chance at the governorship.

How about these women candidates?! Whitmer, Stacey Abrams, Gwen Graham, Kate Brown... kicking ass!
