RGA Statement On Michigan Democrats Nominating Far-Left Politician Gretchen Whitmer For Governor

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association released the following statement regarding Michigan Democrats selecting Gretchen Whitmer as their nominee for governor: 

“With Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan Democrats have chosen a far-left politician committed to raising taxes and reversing job growth,” said RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson. “If elected, Whitmer would bring back the same failed anti-jobs agenda that led to nearly 15 percent unemployment and years of economic decline under Jennifer Granholm. Voters understand that Michigan cannot afford to go backwards and will reject Whitmer at the ballot box this November.”
