Campaign Leadership Cabinet
Campaign Chair
I know the kind of passion Michigan inspires. I feel it every time I run into a fellow Wolverine. But I was still stunned by your outpouring of support for The Michigan Difference. Nearly 373,000 of you gave and some 1,700 of you volunteered your time and expertise. Your belief in Michigan made this campaign soar.
Go Blue!
