Harris, I need your help

Hi Harris, Governor Gretchen Whitmer here. I wanted to reach out personally to tell you exactly what’s on the line this year. With Washington stuck in gridlock, Democratic governors like me are our last line of defense against attacks on our most fundamental rights. GOP governors and conservative state legislatures across the country are trying to enact extreme abortion bans, suppress the right to vote, and undermine gun violence prevention efforts. And the Republican party standard bearer is a convicted felon who wants to use the implements of government to go after his enemies and is running on vengeance and grievance as his platform. We have a clear choice in November. Between a Republican party dominated by extremists in thrall to a convicted felon and Democrats working to safeguard our fundamental freedoms. They want to take us backward and ruin the progress President Biden and Democratic governors are fighting for, Harris. Far-right megadonors are already spending millions on attack ads to target Democrats and destroy our blue firewall. With just over 4 months left until Election Day, we need a huge grassroots investment now to do voter outreach, keep pace with GOP spending, and propel our candidates to victory. Harris, that’s why I need you to step up today. Will you make a grassroots donation of $7, $14 or whatever you can before the DGA’s critical end-of-quarter deadline Sunday at midnight? All donations will be triple-matched up to our $150,000 goal. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $7 (and have it TRIPLED) Donate $14 (and have it TRIPLED) Donate $28 (and have it TRIPLED) Or donate other amount (and have it TRIPLED) Harris, supporters like you were indispensable during my race for governor. Every time I needed you most, you never failed to show up. Thanks to your support, I’m able to fight for Michiganders each and every day and deliver wins I’m so proud of – like repealing our archaic abortion ban, expanding access to the ballot box, and fixing the damn roads. But our work isn’t finished. This November, the White House, control of Congress and key governorships across the country are up for grabs. And I won’t sugarcoat it, Harris – with our candidates facing an onslaught of far-right funded attack ads, this is going to be an uphill battle. That’s why I’m asking today if you can step up and join our fight to protect the fundamental freedoms we hold most dear. Your grassroots contribution will make a critical difference towards electing strong Democratic candidates and stopping GOP extremism across the country. So can I count on you to invest in our Democrats by making a $7 donation – and having it triple-matched up to the DGA’s $150,000 goal before tomorrow at midnight? Donate $7 (and have it TRIPLE-MATCHED) Thank you for your support and for your continued commitment to a better future. With gratitude, Gretchen Whitmer Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer is the Governor of Michigan. She was reelected in 2022 by a double-digit margin because she’ll never stop fighting for working families. She has helped create thousands of good-paying jobs, signed the largest infrastructure plan in state history with funding to fix the damn roads, protected reproductive freedom, and made the largest education investment Michigan's ever seen.   Will you chip in $7 or whatever you can today to help defend our blue firewall? All donations will be 3x-matched up to our end-of-quarter goal. Rush $7 (becomes 3x-matched) We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
