WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Lt. Governors Association (DLGA) Executive Director Kevin Holst released the following statement endorsing Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks as the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Michigan:
“Winnie Brinks was raised on a dairy farm by Dutch immigrant parents, and she has never forgotten the value of hard work. As Michigan’s first female Senate Majority Leader, Winnie delivered the largest working families tax cut in decades, guaranteed free breakfast and lunch for every public school student, and led her chamber through historic wins on reproductive freedom and workers’ rights.
“Michigan families are paying more for groceries, gas, health care, and housing while Donald Trump and Washington Republicans make things worse for working people. Winnie has spent her career in the legislature getting results for West Michigan, and as Lt. Governor, she’ll bring that same track record to help Jocelyn Benson lower costs and raise wages for every Michigander. The DLGA is proud to support Winnie Brinks as Michigan’s next Lt. Governor.”
