Candidate to be Michigan's next Governor with a plan to protect, serve and unify our great state. Sheriff who took off riot gear to peacefully walk with people.
Flint, MI
Joined April 2010
This movement started as a commitment to people. Working families who put in an honest day’s work and just want a fair shot. Communities who deserve to feel safe, respected, and heard. A future where opportunity is built for everyone. It's time for a Sheriff in Lansing.

It was a privilege to speak to a packed room at the library with the South Lyon Dems. Thank you for the warm welcome, the thoughtful conversation, and the work you're doing. I’m grateful for your enthusiasm and your belief in what we’re building together. I won’t let you down.

The Detroit Auto Show wraps ups soon and it's a reminder of how important reliable transportation is to everyday life. Working families shouldn't have to stress about getting to work, getting kids to school or making it home safely at the end of the day. #SwansonForMichigan

You are not alone, and I will not back down. I will fight for you. I will stand up for the things that matter to your family, your job, and your future. This movement's about people. It's about dignity. It's about finally being seen and heard. #SwansonForMichigan

Honored to spend time with the retirees of @UAW Region 1A. These are the hardworking men and women who paved the way. They built strong communities, strong families, and a strong middle class through a lifetime of work. We owe them more than thanks. We owe them protection.

I’m not just a sheriff. I’m a teacher. I’m a medic. I’m the county’s emergency manager during crisis. At the core of everything I do is a love for people and a commitment to serve. As I shared last night with members of the North Oakland Dem Club, helping others is in my DNA.

You know when you think you’re having a bad day… until someone else’s story hits you at your core. Jimmy E. Greene knows what real struggle looks like, and he doesn’t sugarcoat how it’s shaped him. Perspective matters. Don’t miss The Working Class Podcast. (Link in bio)

I’ve been protecting people my entire career. On the Let Them Eat Toast podcast, I talk about what that really means to me. Protecting the vulnerable. Protecting the things you work hard for. Protecting your rights. I’ll always stand up and defend everyone’s rights.

Sparks fly right from the start and that's the point. 🔥 In this 'Work with Me' at UA Local 370, real skills are being taught. I believe we should start teaching the trades in middle school. Not every kid is meant for college and that's okay. #SwansonForMichigan #WorkWithMe

Some stories stop you in your tracks. Jimmy E. Greene's is one of them. He came up the hard way and turned it into hope for thousands. I saw it firsthand in a packed arena for a @SpiritHockey game. You do not want to miss this episode of The Working Class Podcast. Link in bio.

Honored to be part of a powerful MLK community celebration at Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit. We honored Martin Luther King Jr. and the life of democracy through this year’s theme, “My Freedom. My Resistance. Our America.”

Dr. King showed us that silence allows injustice to grow, but unity has the power to change history. Leaders speak up. Leaders bring people together. On this MLK Day, let's recommit to choosing courage, compassion, and unity. #MLKDay #ProtectServeUnify

We honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision of equality, justice, and unity continues to inspire. I'll always cherish my visit to the jail cell where a historical document was penned by Dr. King in 1963. There's a Flint connection. Watch. #MLKDay

I got chills walking into this room in Port Huron. This was unexpected. Right out the gate, a man spoke up and said he had just wactched me on CNN. It stopped me in my tracks. What he said reminded me that speaking up and being real reaches people. Thank you, sir.

I'm not taking PAC money from utility companies. You cannot solve one problem economically by creating ten more environmentally. Michigan deserves leadership that thinks long term, puts people first, and refuses to be bought. #SwansonForMichigan #ProtectServeUnify

This one comes from Josh in Merrill from Facebook. He says he primarily votes republican, but he likes what's happening with GHOST to stop human trafficking. #AskSwanson #SwansonforMichigan

Start your Sunday on a motivational note. @PaulRieckhoff from @indy_americans asked me to share something good, so I gave him an honest answer. Take 40 seconds and watch. #SwansonForMichigan

What's your dream car? In Michigan, we grew up around cars. Most of us have had a dream car since we were kids. Mine was always the Chevy Corvette. Let's build a future together where dreams become reality with good wages that let you live a good life. #SwansonForMichigan

We’re building momentum! We’re reaching people in every corner of our state, having real conversations. Grateful to Ryan and Jamie on @wjrradio at the Detroit Auto Show for the chance to talk about why I’m doing this, and why I love meeting people.
