Last night I shared a video with early thoughts on the horrifying events in Minneapolis and what states can do. Here’s two things a state attorney general can do right now.

I’m a former US Attorney and former Legal Counsel to the Governor of Michigan. What we’re seeing in Minneapolis is not law enforcement: it’s lawlessness. Here’s what a state can do.

🚨 Teamsters Locals 243 has endorsed this campaign. I'm honored to have their support. I promise to always fight to protect and strengthen the rights, opportunities, and benefits of the hardworking Michiganders. #StandWithLabor #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

Since I started this campaign, I’ve driven 27,689 miles to meet with people like you. This job requires showing up, listening, and doing the work. I’m willing to put in the miles and the work because I’m fighting for all Michiganders. #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

Something for our Michigan Dem AG candidates to read. cc: @esavit.bsky.social @marktottenmi.bsky.social @karenmcdonaldmi.bsky.social

On #MLKDay, we honor Dr. King's legacy by recommitting ourselves to justice, equality, and service to others. His work resonates even more during these challenging times, reminding us that progress requires courage and action. We must not give up the fight.

Nope. 👎 Utility execs won’t be shaping my policies — and they won’t be funding my campaign, either. I’m running to hold powerful companies accountable and fight for the people paying the bills, not the corporations profiting from them.

Accountability isn't optional. As AG, I'll enforce the law, take on corruption, and stand up for Michiganders - just like I did as U.S. Attorney across Michigan. #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

Tonight I spoke to the Livonia Dems. But I was a sideshow. The main event was an amazing celebration of retiring Chair Kate Shishkovsky, whose vision, grit, and hard work has turned Livonia blue. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

An Attorney General, I'll stand up for the people, enforce the law fairly, and take on bad actors. I’m running to protect Michiganders and defend our rights. #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

Drove two hours through swirling snow to make it to the Waterford Dems. Totally worth it!

Former U.S. Attorney here. Trump’s DOJ is undermining the rule of law — and Minneapolis is Exhibit A.

Since launching this campaign, I’ve traveled to all 83 counties in Michigan. Why? Because showing up matters. I will always show up because it’s what Michiganders deserve. #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

As a former U.S. Attorney, I’m outraged that DOJ is investigating Sen. Elissa Slotkin for stating black-letter law: service members may not obey unlawful orders. This is what authoritarianism looks like—using the justice system to silence critics and exact revenge.

Thrilled to spend the evening with the Oakland County Democratic Party! 👊🇺🇸🙏

I mean, what could go wrong? So clearly unlawful. Another reason why state attorneys general are so important right now.

Big fights take big teams. I'm standing up for justice, safety, and accountability, and we need your help to keep this campaign growing and strong. For more info ➡️ bit.ly/45bbd8U #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

In tough weeks like this, we don’t back down—we stand together. Grateful to be with the Troy Dems tonight, ready to fight for our values.

Blocking state participation in the Minneapolis investigation is extraordinary & alarming—especially after statements by Trump, Vance, & Noem. States have a right to enforce their criminal laws. The federal gov't cannot finally deny access to the evidence. wapo.st/49nQ38g

These are hard times. But hanging out with Democrats is good therapy! Loved spending time tonight with the St Clair Shores Dems. 

This story hasn’t been fully told: Trump’s obsession w/ revenge and targeting immigrants who haven’t committed crimes has pulled DOJ away from core work—fighting terrorism and fraud. It’s the work I did as U.S. Attorney. We’re all less safe because of it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

My track record shows that I’ll take on powerful interests and deliver justice for Michiganders. As AG, I will fight for working families, protect the vulnerable, take on public corruption, and ensure no one is above the law. #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

What happened in Minneapolis today is deeply disturbing.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America. That’s unacceptable. Every Michigander deserves to feel safe. I will work to prevent guns from reaching dangerous individuals, protect children, and support community safety initiatives.

January 6 was a violent attack on our democracy. We cannot rewrite it, excuse it, or forget it. The rule of law matters. Truth matters. Defending our Constitution is a responsibility we owe to ourselves, each other, and future generations.

Electric bills in Michigan are too damn high! ⚡️No one plays a bigger role holding utilities accountable than the MI Attorney General. That’s why I’ll never take a dime from utility companies, their execs, or lobbyists. A stark difference in this race. 

Fairness. Accountability. Fighting for Michiganders. That's what I'm all about and why I'm running to be the next Attorney General.

Happy 2026! New year. Same values. I'm committed to doing the hard work. I will continue to show up for Michiganders across our state. I will fight every day to make sure the law works for everyone. Let's get to work! #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan🎉

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful New Year's Eve! As we close out 2025, I’m more motivated than ever to pursue justice, accountability, and fairness for all Michiganders. Here’s to the work ahead in 2026!

I'm committed to fighting for all Michiganders - not special interests. I'm running to protect people, keep communities safe, and make sure the law works for everyone but I can't do it alone. Join our campaign today and be a part of real change. bit.ly/45bbd8U #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

Throughout 2025, we have seen how crucial it is for leaders to demonstrate integrity—those who will show up and fight for hardworking Michiganders. As AG, I will fight for all Michiganders and defend our rights. bit.ly/45bbd8U #FightingForMichigan #TeamTotten

Let's finish 2025 strong. Since the beginning of this campaign, I have been inspired by the support and momentum we're building. Together, we can make Michigan safer and more fair for everyone. #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

From my family to yours - we're wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas. Grateful for the chance to spend time with family, reflect on the past year, and recommit to the work ahead. 🎄🎁✨

Stopped by a gathering of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party Black Caucus yesterday to celebrate the holidays. Loved seeing friends and making a few new ones! 🎁🎊🎄

Loved spending tonight with the 13th Congressional Dems in Detroit! 🎁 🎊 🎄 ❄️ 👊

I'm proud to wrap up the week with an endorsement from Teamsters Local 1038. My Labor support is growing and the reason is simple: I'll fight for working families. #StandWithLabor #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan🚨

🚨Big news. I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Teamsters Local 247. Working Michiganders are the backbone of our communities, and this support means so much. Together, we will keep fighting for Michigan workers! #StandWithLabor #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

Last night, I was feeling the holiday cheer with the Ingham County Democrats! 🎄 I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet with Michiganders who are dedicated to fighting for Michigan all year round. Together, we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

I was proud to draft the Executive Order banning state funds being used for conversion therapy in Mich. and I’ll always stand up for LGBTQ+ kids. This decision is wrong. 🌈

Affordability is on everyone's mind. Energy prices continue to skyrocket. That's why I've pledged to never take a dime from utilities, their execs, or their lobbyists. Michiganders deserve a leader who works for them, not anyone else.

Lots of holiday partying today! Loved seeing friends at the CD-12 and Farmington/Farmington Hills events. 🎁🥂🎉

Throughout this campaign, I have been inspired by the people of Michigan. I've witnessed your hard work, resilience, and commitment to community. I'm running for Attorney General to be your champion. Join the fight today! #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

Joined the Allegan Dems for their holiday party and then caught the end of the Kent Dems mtg to share a few words. Loved connecting with so many friends and making a few new ones!

Lupe Ramos-Montigny is an exceptional leader, educator, and advocate. We both understand the critical importance of ensuring the safety of our children. I am proud to have her support. #TeamTotten #FightingForMichigan

I LOVED being with the @WashtenawDems this morning for their AG forum - important conversation. But the BEST part of my day was stopping by U-M afterwards to have lunch with my daughter. 😊
