Gretchen Whitmer | 2 "Gretch Did"

Following the 2016 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump unexpectedly carry Michigan, Whitmer felt a renewed urgency to run for office again. Many of her supporters urged her to step up, recognizing that the state needed a leader who could unite people during divisive times and address the pressing economic and social issues Michigan faced. Michigan had been hit hard by economic challenges, and Whitmer believed she had the experience and vision to bring the state back from the brink.
