Gov. Whitmer Speech in D.C.

From Lansing to D.C., Governor Gretchen Whitmer is delivering a major speech in Washinton D.C. today to lay out her vision to work bipartisan to build up America’s manufacturing industry and strengthen national defense.
Whitmer says this will be accomplished by bringing supply chains home from China, creating better-paying jobs, and investing in our defense industry.
The speech was postponed last week due to the storms across Michigan.
