Michigan

I feel fucking amazing as a Michigander! Not only did our all female main ticket win, but so did a couple ballot proposals that have the potential to change the face of my state. Maybe I can stop being embarrassed
to be from Michigan!

Had several cousins working Left Bank(?) lean left(?) (I’m punchy right now), doing door to door canvassing. One of them said it was an unbelievably smooth machine to GOTV.

I'm smack dab in the middle of Flint and Lansing yet completely isolated by gerrymandering.

Democratic women elected to Governor, SOS and Attorney General.

Two Democratic women take up seats in MI-8 and 11.

My representative, MI-12...Debbie Dingell is going to have some wonderful company now in the US House with Haley Stevens and Elissa Slotkin.

Michigan showed everyone what a blue wave looks like!!! So proud of my vote for Gretchen Whitmer and all other Dems. All three proposals won stopping gerrymandering, legalizing marijuana and everyone being allowed to vote by mail.
