My thoughts about what’s at stake in just three weeks:

RUSH $7 (becomes $14) Hi, Harris, it’s Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer here. I’m on the Blue Wall Bus Tour talking to voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin about what’s at stake in this election. Political experts all agree that Vice President Kamala Harris’ most likely path to the presidency resides in winning these states, so I wanted to reach out personally and share my thoughts about the next 19 days. Make no mistake: this is one tough election. Vice President Kamala Harris is locked in a tied race against Donald Trump – and a new poll has her just one point up in Michigan. But you and I both know: Between a Republican party dominated by extremists and Democrats working to safeguard our fundamental freedoms, we have a clear choice this November. Because at the top of the ticket, we have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz – people who’ve lived normal middle class lives and understand what Americans are going through – whether it’s childcare, healthcare, or food for kids in schools. I mean, they’ve got receipts. They’ve done the work. Donald Trump and JD Vance want to take us backward and roll back the progress we have been fighting for. They’ve even filed a lawsuit against me because of my work helping veterans and small business owners register to vote. That’s why I’m reaching out to you personally, Harris – to help me defend our progress by electing Democratic governors. Will you make a grassroots donation of $7, $14 or whatever you can before the DGA’s critical, final mid-month deadline tonight at midnight? All donations will be DOUBLED up to our $100,000 goal. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $7 (becomes $14) Donate $14 (becomes $28) Donate $28 (becomes $56) Or donate other amount (and have it DOUBLED!) Harris, supporters like you were indispensable during my race for governor. Every time I needed you most, you never failed to show up. But with less than three weeks until Election Day, we can’t take anything for granted this year. 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. There are less than 24 hours to have your donation matched up to our goal, Harris. So can I count on you to invest in our Democrats by making a $7 donation? The DGA’s $100,000 mid-month goal is critical to securing Democratic victories on Election Day and beyond – so don’t wait up. RUSH $7 (becomes $14) The stakes of this election are too high for us not to give this our all. Let’s take action now so we don’t have any regrets after Election Day. 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 DOUBLED up to our mid-month goal. Donate $7 (becomes $14) We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
