Secretary of State Candidate:
Garlin Gilchrist
ELECTION IMPACT:
This role oversees the administration, canvass, and certification of their state’s elections. As well as the certification of election equipment and the vote by mail processes – two key targets of election interference and misinformation.
Garlin is a public servant, an engineer, and our current Lieutenant Governor, who has always fought for hardworking Michigan families, delivering universal pre-K, bringing new jobs to Michigan, and keeping our communities safe. As our next Secretary of State, he’ll keep fighting for us:
- Protecting voting rights and free and fair elections.
- Continuing to streamline services and resources available to the community when interacting with state agencies.
- Standing up to Big Tech and the Trump Administration who want to abuse voting registration data.
Calhoun County Treasurer:
Nat Spurr
ELECTION IMPACT:
While the Treasurer’s primary job is fiscal, they serve as the third member of the Election Commission to provide a check and balance on ballot preparation.
This is a special election to fill a 2025 vacancy.
