Gretchen Whitmer

Whitmer won attention in 2018 when she successfully ran for governor using the slogan "Fix the Damn Roads."

"It is my earnest hope that people will continue to wear face masks, social distance, and quarantine when warranted."

"We are now 46th highest when it comes to positivity rates."

"Imagine how much harder it would be if their chairs are empty next year."

"The only way this stops is if people rise up."

Whitmer called on Americans to "step up and call this out and bring the heat down."

“Hopefully you’ll be sending her packing pretty soon,” Trump said.

"This is about this country."

Thirteen people including at least seven tied to an armed militia were arrested last week.

"I sleep at night knowing that what we did saved people in this state."

"I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence."

"When they stoke and contribute to hate speech, they are complicit."

"Our efforts uncovered elaborate plans to endanger the lives of law enforcement officers, government officials and the broader public."

"Your voice will be heard in November."

"Through comprehensive and aggressive steps, we will combat the climate crisis by formally setting and relentlessly pursuing a goal of statewide decarbonization by 2050."

Whitmer explained the difference between a Biden event and a Trump rally.

"What happened in Flint should never have happened."

"This is not about one party or person."

Whitmer is enforcing stricter guidelines yet again.

"I am hopeful that he will seize this opportunity."
