Self-Serving McDonald Rivet plays political games as Michiganders go without representation

200+ days later, more than 270,000 Michiganders are still left without representation because of self-serving Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet.

New reporting is highlighting that Kristen McDonald Rivet’s SILENCE and Whitmer’s FAILURE is the “result of political calculation aimed at denying Republicans an advantage.”

As a reminder:

• Kristen McDonald Rivet went as far as to run into oncoming traffic to avoid answering whether she believes Michiganders deserve representation. 

• Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel said, “I think that [Whitmer] should call the election” and that “the people of that Senate district deserve to be represented.”

• Michigan’s Democrat Lieutenant Governor previously admitted the district’s residents are “ready” for a special election while stating he hopes it’s “happening soon.”

• This is by far the longest time frame in Governor Whitmer’s tenure between a State Senate seat vacancy and a special election announcement.
