these people don't want you to force a mask on them but they won't let women do what they want with their bodies

She is another strong, intelligent, and capable woman. Just what MAGA hates.

Michigan is a philosophic libertarian state, Detroit was one of the first settlements,
Gretch knows this and knows women built this country's history.

We in Michigan are so fortunate to have a full roster of strong women guiding our state into the future. I am so proud of my home state. We have much to do yet to become a more perfect state, but we are moving forward with great leadership.

Respect for Governor Whitmer. Started in Covid era...Studies at UC Berkeley and several other outstanding universities showed that if 80% of people in public wore masks, infections, hospitalizations and deaths would plummet.

I'm proud of Governor Gretchen Whitmer. I was born in Detroit and I am proud to see the state of Michigan supporting HARRIS / WALZ 2024 !!! I'm a " NEVER TRUMP GUY ". !!!
