Gretchen Whitmer, Governor, Debbie Stabenow, Senator, Dana Nessel, AG, Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State. In my district, Elissa Slotkin beat Mike "Hair Gel" Bishop. And all three proposals passed--pot is now legal, no more gerrymandering, & voting rights are now enshrined in our State Constitution so republicans will have a very difficult time fucking with our rights.
I am mourning the losses in other states, but I gotta tell you, it feels pretty good to be a Michigander tonight after the horror show that was 2016.

Like I said.. you so deserve it! Look what you had to endure for 8 fucking years under Snyder.

(659 posts)I think that narrow "victory" by 45 woke a lot of voters up in the state-
It's sure as hell feels good to live in a midwestern state that's trending progressive on all fronts. And once we have fair districts once the gerrymandered maps are gone - we could truly become a blue mecca in the middle of the country.
