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 … - Gretchen Whitmer

A governor can't fix global inflation. But what we can do is take actions to keep more money in people's pockets, protect our right to make our own decisions about our bodies.

Thanks to the bipartisan auto insurance reform I signed, nearly $2.2 billion has been put back in people’s pockets and another $800 million is yet to come... These refunds will help families pay the bills and put food on the table as we keep growing our economy, creating more good-paying jobs, and lowering costs.

I was considered the most progressive person the whole time I was in the legislature, I negotiated health care, I negotiated a minimum wage increase. I told my story of sexual assault when women's health was on the line. I wrote the Michigan 2020, which was a free college plan, before Bernie Sanders ever offered it on the national level. I am proud to be a progressive.
