United Steelworkers District 2 Endorses Gretchen Whitmer for Governor
LANSING, MICHIGAN Today, United Steelworkers District 2 announced their support for Gretchen Whitmer for Governor. With this latest endorsement, Whitmers unprecedented momentum continues, as 19 statewide labor organizations representing over 1 million Michigan workers and retirees join her movement.
United Steelworkers District 2 Director Michael Bolton said Whitmers time on the front lines fighting for hardworking Michigan families makes her our strongest candidate to take back the governors office.
Gretchen knows that to get ahead, Michiganders need one good job, and they need a way to get to that job safely, said Bolton. With Gretchen in the governors office, were going to fix our roads, treat workers with the respect they deserve, and give people the skills they need to get ahead. Shell take on the tough fights to protect our wages, our benefits, and our right to collectively bargain, and were proud to be in her corner.
Whitmer is a mom, former legislator, union member, prosecutor and Senate Democratic Leader who knows how to get things done. As the first woman to lead a caucus in the Michigan Senate, Whitmer brokered the deal to expand Medicaid in Michigan, which has given more than 680,000 people coverage through Healthy Michigan and passed a minimum wage increase with a cost-of-living adjustment.

Your accusation is that Crain's had no evidence for what it didn't say. That's total BS.
