Gretchen Whitmer | 1 Big Gretch

Growing up in a bipartisan household, with a father who worked for Republican Governor Milliken and a mother who was involved with Democratic administrations, Whitmer was exposed to different political perspectives. This upbringing taught her the importance of working across the aisle and contributed to her pragmatic, results-driven approach to governance. Her parents’ careers in law and public service also gave Whitmer a firsthand understanding of the power of government to affect people’s lives, a lesson that has been a guiding principle in her political career.
