3. So proud of our state!

Amazing women won reelection for all 3 major executive positions in the state, gov, AG, and SoS. Took the House. Took the Senate. Winny Brinks named first female speaker of the House in state history. Kept Dem control of the State Supreme Court while seating the first black woman ever to sit on it in Kyra Harris Bolden. Dems swept all open races for for state university board seats. Garlin Gilchrist II was the first black lieutenant governor in state history and won a second term with Whitmer.

We expanded and protected voting rights.

We enshrined a woman's right to choose into our state constitution.

It was as clean a sweep as could be imagined in Michigan, led by our strong women winning re-election.
