“I am suspending my campaign for Michigan Attorney General. Following recent endorsements by major labor unions, I have concluded there is not a viable path forward through an early endorsement convention. I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary support I have received across Michigan.

Throughout this past year on the campaign trail — and throughout my career — I have been guided by a sense of mission. We live in an unprecedented moment, with the President attacking our democracy while the rich and powerful accumulate even more power at the expense of everyone else. I have always believed that state attorneys general stand on the front lines of this fight, and that my service as Chief Legal Counsel to the Governor of Michigan and as United States Attorney prepared me to lead in this moment.

While I regret that I will not have the opportunity to serve as Attorney General, I remain committed to this work and look forward to supporting the Democratic nominee and finding other ways to continue the fight for Michigan, for working people, and for our democracy.”
