This week MI MAGA forced a vote in Lansing on Michiganders for Money Out of Politics. Why? Republicans want to stop you from passing MMOP in November.

Democrats in Kent County are clear: We need money out of politics, and voters will get to decide if they agree. Thank you to our future Lieutenant Governor Winnie Brinks, who is giving the power to the people and refusing to play political games.

Vote YES for Money Out Of Politics, and VOTE BLUE! Voting starts on September 24th, so check your registration here: MI.gov/vote
