Michigan’s About to Get Screwed—Speak Up or Step Aside

To: Gov. Whitmer, Sen. Bellino, Rep. Jenkins-Arno

From: A constituent in Adrian, MI

April 3

If you’re not raising hell about these new tariffs, then what are you even doing? Michigan’s economy depends on manufacturing, tech, clean energy, and innovation—and these tariffs threaten all of it. They’ll drive up costs on EVs, solar components, and other essentials we need to stay competitive. Our state will feel the hit harder than most. People in Michigan are already struggling to afford everyday life. These tariffs will jack prices up even more, and for what? Political games. That’s it. We need you to be loud. Make it clear that Michigan won’t sit back while D.C. tanks our economy to score cheap points. Tariffs don’t help—they hurt. And silence is just another kind of complicity.
