New poll: 46% of Michiganders say the cost of health insurance is their top healthcare concern, far ahead of out-of-pocket costs (26%) and prescription drugs (7%). Families need relief now, and a system where costs don’t keep climbing.

The “Education Freedom Tax Credit” is a scam: tens of billions in taxpayer money that would drain public schools serving all 1.4 million Michigan students. Thanks, Gov. Whitmer, for opting out. Fund public schools, not repackaged DeVos nonsense.

This nation was founded on grave wrongs done to indigenous peoples. We can't undo the damage wrought by colonialism, but we can and will fight to protect indigenous communities, honor tribal treaty rights, and preserve the land and water people have held dear for centuries.

On or before Nov. 3: Vote NO on Prop 1 (Con-Con) and YES on Prop 2 (Money Out of Politics). Con-Con would open the door for billionaires and special interests to rewrite our Constitution. Prop 2 gets corporate money out of politics. Voter guide here: ourmivoterguide.com
