The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes.

“With the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden just days away, our long national nightmare is almost over. That doesn’t mean that our work is done though. We made significant strides in this last election, taking back the White House, flipping the U.S. Senate, and holding the U.S. House. But as we continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, systematic racism, a struggling economy, and many challenges facing working families across America, there is a need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2021 and 2022. That is why President-elect Joe Biden’s slate of officers for the DNC gives me hope. Each of the individuals he has chosen, including Governor Whitmer, are well respected leaders that understand what it takes to win. I am looking forward to working alongside all of them to continue electing Democrats who will fight to build America back better.”
