Get Michigan Working Again Launches “Fire The Damn Governor” Campaign in Michigan

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Get Michigan Working Again, the Republican Governors Association’s Michigan PAC, today announced the launch of a new website focusing on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. FireTheDamnGovernor.com will serve as a one stop shop for Michiganders to get the latest information on Gretchen Whitmer, the Andrew Cuomo of the Midwest.

Gretchen Whitmer has failed Michiganders at every turn since taking office. Michigan’s roads remain among the worst in the nation, the unemployment rate in the Great Lakes State has increased by nearly 36 percent while nearly 30,000 Michiganders wait for their checks, and despite promising more transparency, Michigan still ranks dead last.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Whitmer adopted some of the strictest lockdowns in America, sending Michigan’s economy into a tailspin. To make matters worse, Whitmer forced nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, endangering Michigan seniors and leading to over 5,500 avoidable deaths.

“While neighboring states are on the road to recovery, Gretchen Whitmer is leading Michigan down a pothole-filled road of broken promises,” said RGA spokesperson Chris Gustafson. “Whitmer’s record of broken promises and incompetent governing continues to harm millions of Michiganders, and it’s time to Fire the Damn Governor.”
