Gretchen Whitmer won statewide office twice by double digits in one of the nation’s most competitive swing states because she showed up everywhere, even the toughest places for Democrats to compete. Now, she’s taking her battle-tested strategies across the country to help candidates and campaign staff compete and win in the hardest places.
Since 2023, Governor Whitmer has recruited over 4,000 people nationwide who are ready to run for office or work on a campaign. She has hosted leadership trainings for hundreds of people—in Michigan, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and virtually—where future leaders learn from experts and gain hands-on experience in campaign management, finance, communications, safety, and more.
She has also supported candidates across the country by hosting over 200 voter activation events, including rallies, phone banks, town halls, and roundtables.
