To both my local and state elections. Whitmer got money from me, so did Hillary Scholten, and so did Raphael Warnock.

What was amazing to me was the GOTV effort, I've been a registered Democrat for over 30 years and I've never seen anything close to what the Dems did this cycle with GOTV. There were people knocking on my door almost every day leading up to election day to make sure I was going to vote. I spoke with campaigns via telephone. It was amazing.

Democrats are building a movement, and it very well could have started here in Michigan. More people are getting involved than ever before. It's really palpable. The people that came out for the first time in 2020 and 2022 are going to be lifelong Dem voters.
