Hi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me =K I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan prove it. https://t.co/FtWlTLZdqW

I want to make this clear I will not send our kids and our education workforce into our schools unless it is safe to do so, plain and simple. I have made decisions based on science and facts to keep Michiganders safe since the beginning, and wont stop now.
Wear =O a =O mask =O Thats it, thats the tweet. Pass it on. #MaskUpMichigan
This morning we received 112,800 N95 masks in our shipment from the strategic national stockpile w/8k more on the way. Great news for our health care workers. We'll keep working hard along with FEMA and the White House to get more of the PPE we need to keep Michiganders safe.
Now that Ive got your attention, Mr. President - attack tweets wont solve this crisis. But swift and clear guidance, tests, personal protective equipment, and resources would. FYI - heres what Ive done so far https://t.co/LZkN0U490p
Just going to leave this here: Do not consume or inject disinfectant. That's a bad idea.
If we could hold an election in 1864 in the midst of a Civil War, we can and will hold one in 2020. Its time for the president to get his priorities straight and work with Congress on a recovery package that protects our families, frontline workers, and small business owners.
Ive said it before, and Ill say it again Michigan is an extraordinary place to live because of the people who call it home. There are millions of Michiganders doing their part to slow the spread of #COVID19 every single day. We are going to get through this together.
Today, President Trump threatened to send federal law enforcement into many cities, including Detroit. Frankly, he doesn't know the first thing about Detroit. If he did, hed know Detroiters gathered to peacefully protest the systemic racism that Black Americans face every day.
I dont care whats on your mask. I just care that its on your face. >7<� @ https://t.co/MezW4XBagg
