Kristen McDonald Rivet silences 270,000 Michiganders
August 15, 2025
It’s been more then SEVEN MONTHS since more than 270,000 Michiganders are still left without representation because of self-serving Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet.
Yet another report highlights Kristen McDonald Rivet’s SILENCE and Whitmer’s FAILURE to fill the vacant seat. Let’s not forget, this is the “result of political calculation aimed at denying Republicans an advantage.”
“Self-serving Kristen McDonald Rivet’s silence makes it clear she only cares about herself and her radical Democrat Party, not the people of Michigan.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon
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.
