The ability to decide when and whether to have a child is the biggest economic decision a woman will make. - Gretchen Whitmer

I think of myself as someone who is progressive but also can get stuff done... And I don’t vilify people that don’t see the world precisely the same way I do. I’m not arrogant enough to think that I’m always right.

I love state government because the work that we do, you can see the results, I'm close to the people that I serve, and this is where I want to be. So all the reports in the world don't change any of that. That's who I am. That's what my focus is, and I'm grateful to be right here.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. He laid the groundwork in so many ways for the LGBTQ advocacy taking place across Michigan still today. He will be missed by many, though his legacy will live on through those he inspired throughout his life.
