Detroit’s turnaround didn’t happen overnight; it happened block by block, working across neighborhoods to bring the city together. I'm proud of the work we've done over the last 12 years to turn the city around. We still have a long way to go. https://t.co/nwGLMJm8tj

In Michigan today, six in 10 fourth graders can’t read at grade level. We’ve fallen from 19th to 44th in the nation. That’s unacceptable. As governor, I’ll lead a Marshall Plan for early reading—because every child deserves the chance to succeed.

We can’t wait for Congress, but we’re hopeful they’ll restore SNAP so families aren’t used as leverage in political fights. Detroit will keep supporting food pantries and making sure our most vulnerable have access to the food they need. https://t.co/N06OCE3bDH

I'm running as an Independent because I don't want to be in charge of the Michigan Democratic or Republican Party. I am running to be your next Governor.

We can fix Michigan’s schools without raising taxes. My plan invests $4.5B in education by cutting waste and redirecting resources to what matters most—early literacy, skilled trades, and real accountability in leadership.

Michigan’s K-12 education system is broken. Yesterday, I convened educators, parents, and community leaders at Macomb Community College to discuss how to outline my five-year, $4.5 billion plan to restore literacy, expand career training, and more. https://t.co/SgTxhuoilF

Michigan’s education system isn’t broken because of our teachers—it’s broken because of our leadership. My plan puts accountability at the top, resources in the classroom, and reading at the center. We can get this right for every child in our state. https://t.co/GatVKiuaSe

Mike Duggan, who is running for governor as an independent, said the state has been "a joke" nationally for its changes to school accountability.

I’m not trying to tear down the two-party system. I’m trying to get the Republicans and Democrats to behave responsibly, so I didn’t form a third party, but I said, ‘What if I run as an independent?’
