“The unified front between Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and socialist Democrat accomplices in the legislature is quickly transforming Michigan into their Marxist vision,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “Led by Gov. Whitmer, Democrat’s permanently codified COVID-era ballot harvesting procedures, expanded welfare, gave into union boss demands, and killed jobs by championing new ‘green’ energy mandates.”

The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Michigan address ‘green’ energy mandates, diminish election security, curtail Second Amendment freedoms, and expand abortion. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, and property and upholding the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Michigan legislature.
