    Michigan’s elections are safe and secure, and any attempt to suggest otherwise is an attempt to take away Michiganders’ constitutional right to vote and invade their privacy. I want to thank @MIAttyGen Nessel and @MichSoS Benson for standing up for the rights of Michigan voters.

    @MIAttyGen Dana Nessel has secured two victories defending state elections and protecting the privacy of Michigan voters from the Trump administration. Read about both victories: go.mi.gov/wr0zn2760
    A graphic with a blue background features a roll of "I VOTED" stickers on the right. Text reads: "AG Nessel Secures Two Major Victories Against the Trump Administration for Michigan Voters. Swipe for full statement." The bottom right includes a seal and a URL: mi.gov/agnews.
    DOJ Lawsuit Targeting Sensitive Voter Information Dismissed

USA v. Benson

Quote from Attorney General Dana Nessel: 

"The federal government continues to show a blatant disregard for voter privacy, but the rule of law has once again prevailed. This invasive demand by the DOJ was a transparent attempt to intimidate and spread fear among voters, but my office will not be bullied by this administration and will always stand up against unlawful actions by the federal government.”
    Trump’s March 25, 2025 Elections Executive Order Struck Down

California et al v. Trump et al

Quote from Attorney General Dana Nessel: 

"I am relieved that the Court saw through the President’s illegal crusade to usurp state-run elections. Whether it’s through executive orders or DOJ pressure tactics, this White House continues to peddle debunked conspiracy theories in its quest to federalize the electoral process. 

As the midterms get closer, we expect these desperate attacks will continue, but we are ready and committed to protecting the right to vote for Michiganders.”

    Four years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away women’s access to abortion and right to choose. It was a devastating setback that continues to harm women across the country. In Michigan, we proved that people come together to protect reproductive freedom by enshrining that right.

    More money kept in your pocket is more money for bills, childcare, and keeping food on the table. That’s why here in Michigan we are saving you money through free pre-K, expanded childcare assistance, and over $1 billion in tax cuts for seniors and working families.

    Michigan’s been revolutionizing how we get around for over a century. We’re #1 for mobility, electrification, and automotive R&D and we’re not stopping there. Michigan will keep building the future of mobility on land, in the air, and on our waters.

    🚨 Big news, Michigan! We’re erasing over $74 million in medical debt for over 72,000 Michiganders in the second round of medical debt forgiveness. Our partnership with @unduemeddebt means fewer Michigan families have to choose between buying groceries or paying medical bills.

    No one person had a bigger influence on me than my dad. I think of him every day and this Father’s Day, I miss him even more. I am wishing a Happy Father’s Day to every Michigander celebrating and reflecting today.
