LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she's "just getting started" Thursday as her campaign submitted about 30,000 petition signatures to get on the ballot as she seeks reelection.
Standing outside a Secretary of State building in downtown Lansing, the Democratic incumbent spoke to a crowd of about 100 people — many of whom held signs that said "Michigan first" — before the petitions were turned over to election officials.
"The surprises that we have had to deal with over the last few years have been something out of fiction. Right?" Whitmer told the crowd. "And yet, we've stood together, stood our ground and delivered for the people of this great state. And we are ready to run for reelection."
