I’m a public servant, an entrepreneur, a dad, a husband, and an engineer who spent a lot of my life making the government actually work for people. I’m not done with that, not by a long shot
Today, I am declaring my candidacy for Secretary of State of Michigan.
I’m grateful to have the support of my friend and fellow Michigander, @PeteButtigieg Together, we’ll Stand TALL for Michigan and protect our elections from Trump’s attacks.
Every contribution makes a difference. Whether you donate $5, volunteer your time, or spread the word, I’m grateful for your support to power this campaign to victory on November 3.
Join Andy Levin and I this Sunday in Mt. Clemens to knock doors and get out the vote! Let’s #StandTALL and finish strong! 💪

We need a Secretary of State who will protect our data, keep our elections fair and secure, and fight for the people of Michigan. @garlin has the plan, the experience and the integrity. Forlini is a rubber stamp for Trump. easternecho.com/article/2026…
Three things Michigan needs from its next Secretary of State: keep Trump out of our elections, protect Michiganders’ personal data, and stop corporate dark money from flooding our politics.
Join Sean McCann and me in Battle Creek this Saturday to knock doors and connect with voters! Hope to see you there!
President Obama knows what’s at stake this November and the strength of this ticket we have ready to lead Michigan forward. Let’s get it done!

Big thanks to Padnos Recycling in Howell for the tour this morning and showing me how Michigan’s auto recyclers work with the Secretary of State’s office.
Everyone deserves a fair shot at rebuilding their life. That’s why I have worked to help returning citizens get the driver’s license and restored 400,000 Michiganders’ licenses so they could get on their feet, find a job, support their families, and be a full participant in civic and economic life.
Removing barriers makes our communities stronger and gives people the opportunity to start fresh.

Join me this Thursday, October 22, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM in Detroit for The Collective PAC’s Michigan Power Hour, a fundraiser benefiting The Collective PAC’s 2026 endorsed candidates in Michigan. I’m one of the six Michigan candidates they are backing this fall. Tickets start at $50.

Too many people feel like the corporations and the wealthy are more powerful than they are. As Secretary of State, I’ll fight to make sure the voices, votes, and power of Michiganders are heard, counted, and felt.
We need leaders in Lansing and Washington who will stand up to bad actors and Stand TALL for Michiganders. When we have each other’s backs, we can make real progress for working people.
Join me, the Carpenters, and the rest of our statewide ticket for a Get Out the Vote rally in Detroit this weekend!
