Jocelyn has a proven track record of transforming broken government systems and fixing them to save Michiganders time and money while protecting their rights and freedoms. As governor, she will make Michigan more affordable, take our public schools to the top 10 in the nation, and make government work for Michiganders.
It’s past time we root out the corruption holding us back and build a government that truly works for people – a government that makes life more affordable for families – from housing to healthcare to childcare to education.
Stay up to date with the latest news, announcements, and updates from the campaign as we build a winning coalition heading into 2026.
