Reminder: Kristen McDonald Rivet Betrayed Michigan Farmers

August 21, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet voted AGAINST critical legislation to support Michigan’s farmers and rural communities. 

McDonald Rivet went on to meet with farmers to discuss the “pressing challenges they face,” even though she helped create those very challenges. The reality is that their biggest problem is Kristen McDonald Rivet who continues to put her radical far-left agenda ahead of the needs of Michigan’s producers, growers, and rural families.

Kristen McDonald Rivet voted AGAINST:

  • Strengthening and modernizing crop insurance
  • Extending important safety net programs that help protect farmers
  • Strengthening biosecurity
  • Modernizing outdated land data 

According to American Farm Bureau Federation economists, the legislation McDonald Rivet voted AGAINST “will strengthen the farm safety net and offer longer-term certainty for farmers.”

“Radical Kristen McDonald Rivet is kidding herself if she tries to spin her vote as anything but a slap in the face to farmers, producers, and rural communities. Michiganders know bullcrap when they smell it, and they’ll hold McDonald Rivet accountable for leaving them behind.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
