I’m proud to have the support of the @uaw.org in our campaign for Secretary of State. I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with our sisters & brothers in the labor movement, and I will continue to #StandTall for Michigan’s working class to ensure that our government and our democracy work for all of us

🚨 Endorsement Alert! I'm proud of the campaign we're building to fight for Michiganders.

I’m a public servant, an entrepreneur, a dad, a husband, and an engineer who spent a lot of my life making the government actually work for people. I’m not done with that, not by a long shot Today, I am declaring my candidacy for Secretary of State of Michigan.

When did poverty wages ever make America “great”?

Strong unions make strong families. I’ll always stand with labor on the picket line and at the negotiating table.

Our right to affordable healthcare is under attack. I’ve fought for Medicaid expansion in MI as your Lt. Governor, and I’ll continue the fight as your governor.

We can afford the things people need when corporations pays their fair share.

I’m an engineer, I fix problems and build solutions. That’s how I’ve approached every challenge as Lt. Governor. Now I’m focused on building on that progress and making Michigan a place where every family can afford to stay and succeed.

Enjoying your Sunday off? Thank the union members who fought for your break.

We’re facing an affordability crisis. I’m fighting for: 💵 Raising the Minimum Wage 💵 Debt Free College 💵 Free Childcare for EVERYONE 💵 Affordable Housing

Take it from @JasmineForUS.bsky.social, Trump can’t tell me nothin’.

This will hurt families and kill children. Vaccines save lives—it’s that simple. We need leaders who understand how systems work and who trust science. As your Governor, I’ll stand tall against these attacks.

In 2022, Michiganders made it clear: the right to abortion belongs in our Constitution. As your next Governor, I’ll stand tall to make sure marriage equality is protected too, because love deserves equal protection under the law.

I’m honored to have the support of these local leaders who are delivering for their communities every day—putting people over profits and fighting to address kitchen table issues. Together, we’re building a Michigan where everyone can stay and succeed.

Voting is how we honor those who came before us, and protect the future we’re building together. I did my part. Have you voted yet? Learn more: 👉🏾 michigandems.com/find-my-polling-place/

Always great to catch up with Rev. Al Sharpton—someone who’s spent a lifetime fighting for justice. We talked about leading with courage, and building on the legacy of those who paved the way. Grateful for the wisdom—and ready to carry it forward here in Michigan.

This campaign isn’t funded by Wall Street or MAGA billionaires, it’s being built by Michigan educators, farmers, students, parents, and small business owners who believe in a brighter future for Michigan. Thank you for being part of it. We’re just getting started.

This is going to kill people. Seniors, veterans, & working people across Michigan are going to suffer because of John James' & Trump's selfishness. We need leadership that doesn't treat access to health care as bargaining chip for billionaire tax cuts. As governor, I’ll always put Michiganders first

The future of work shouldn’t leave anyone behind. That means training, apprenticeships, and making sure AI strengthens—not replaces—our workforce. Let’s build smart.

John James has the backing of billionaires. We’ve got something better: you. Every dollar helps us reach more voters, knock more doors, and fight for Michigan families. If you can, donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_g...

Michiganders deserve a governor who’s focused on them—not on the next campaign. I’ve been here doing the work, while John James has been in Washington working to cut Medicaid. That’s the difference. #StandTALL

I’m proud to endorse @garlingilchrist.bsky.social in his run for Governor of Michigan. Garlin is a fighter and a problem solver. I’ve partnered with him on reproductive and LGBTQ rights as well as maternal and infant health initiatives, and I can’t wait to get to work with him as Governor.

Honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus. Their trust means everything, and we're ready to deliver for our communities and to lead with purpose.

Among the Democratic lawmakers backing Gilchrist's campaign for governor are two state senators from Macomb County.

I’m proud to have the support of these Michigan leaders—people I’ve worked with to deliver real results for working families. Together, we’ll keep building a Michigan where everyone can grow, thrive, and stay. Let’s get to work. #StandTALL

Michiganders are some of the hardest-working people in the country. They deserve jobs with dignity, benefits, and a fair wage. We can grow our economy without leaving anyone behind.

On this Fourth of July, I’m thinking about freedom—not just fireworks. Freedom means health care you can afford. Clean air and water. A job that pays you what you’re worth. That’s the Michigan I’m fighting for.

This legislation makes one thing clear: Republicans want us to die. Cutting care, slashing meals, and walking away from our communities—I personally know families who will be impacted by this MAGA Murder Bill.

The question is not what's on my mind. The question is what's in the minds of the people of Michigan.

I’m an engineer. I don’t just talk about problems—I solve them. From Detroit neighborhoods to the halls of government, I’ve spent my life building solutions. That’s exactly what I’ll do as Governor. #StandTALL

I’ve been fortunate to have had powerful conversations this month with folks across Michigan. I’m listening—and I’m ready to lead. Let’s #StandTall for what comes next.

Had a great conversation on JR Afternoon about why I’m running for Governor, what’s at stake, and how we can keep Michigan moving forward—together. Grateful for the thoughtful questions. Take a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

John James wants to rubber-stamp Trump’s agenda—cutting healthcare, gutting education, and turning his back on working families. I’m fighting for something better: a Michigan that works for all of us.

Affordable housing shouldn’t be a dream. It should be a guarantee. That’s why I’m committed to solutions that meet people where they are—and lift them higher. #StandTall

I’m proud to #StandTALL with our LGBTQ+ family—not just in June, but every day. We can’t build a Michigan where everyone thrives if we leave anyone behind. That’s the work ahead, and I’m ready to lead it.

Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Now, Republicans like John James are threatening even more. The fight for reproductive freedom is far from over—we need to keep organizing and keep fighting to protect rights for Michiganders.

Juneteenth is a celebration and a challenge—to continue building a future rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity. Let’s honor the struggle by standing tall in our values and our actions.

Great schools don’t just educate—they empower. That’s why I’m committed to investing in our teachers, updating classrooms, and giving every child in Michigan the chance to thrive.

Being a dad has taught me the power of patience, presence, and purpose. I carry that into every conversation and every policy. Happy Father’s Day to the dads showing up for their families.

Standing tall means standing up for the values that represent us: fairness, opportunity, and freedom. That’s the Michigan we’re building—together.

Excited to join Black Fridays Podcast for a real conversation about tech, politics, and what drives me to #StandTALL. Drops June 20—stay tuned.

People are tired of being promised change and getting excuses. I’m running to deliver more results—and earn people’s trust by doing the work. That’s what leadership looks like.

I’ve been to all 83 counties—more than once. What I hear from Michiganders isn’t partisan. It’s personal. They want leaders who get it, who listen, and who will fight for their families. That’s the energy driving me every day.

Had a blast at the Ann Arbor Alphas Golf Tournament ⛳ A great day supporting scholarships for local students. A scholarship helped me pursue higher education right here in Michigan. It’s so important that we pay it forward and invest in the next generation.

The faces of Michigan Democrats are the faces of America. Honored to present the Dingell/Levin Award to Teola Hunter—her legacy reminds us that progress must be fought for. That’s why we #StandTALL for Michigan.

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating across Michigan! As families gather for Eid al-Adha, may this be a time to honor the sacrifices that got us here today, but also a time to celebrate with your community.

Whether it’s Detroit or the Keweenaw, I’ve been to all 83 counties—and what I hear is the same: folks want a government that works for them. That’s what I’m fighting for. #StandTall

The future of Democratic leadership will come from our deep bench in the states. In 2026, Lt. Governors like @garlingilchrist.bsky.social, @julianastratton.bsky.social, @eleniforca.bsky.social, and @peggyflanagan.bsky.social are stepping up, and the DLGA is all in to help them succeed.

I’ve been fortunate to have had powerful conversations with folks across Michigan. I’m listening—and I’m ready to lead. While John James and Republicans stoke division, we’re building solutions. Let’s #StandTall for what comes next.

I’ve visited every tribal college in Michigan. These institutions don’t just serve Indigenous students—they uplift entire communities, just like a local community college would. Trump’s plan to gut their funding isn’t just wrong. It’s catastrophic. We have to fight back.
