August 27, 2025

After 230+ days, more than 270,000 Michiganders are still left without representation because of self-serving Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board highlighted that “the seat is vacant because its former occupant, Kristen McDonald Rivet, was elected to Congress in November. Some 265,000 voters in her old district have since been without representation.”

The article also points out that Democrats have called on Whitmer to call a Special Electionclaiming her political games are “egregious” and that Michiganders “are certainly ready” for representation. However, McDonald Rivet has remained silent.

After more than 230 days, why is Kristen McDonald Rivet remaining silent despite growing frustration from her constituents?
