Michigan, Michiganders were hurting. Families were hurting. We've lost 29,000 manufacturing jobs in the six years that my opponent's been in office in Michigan. Those are about $72,000 apiece. That's $2 billion out of our economy. They came in and said, we're going to fix that by doing EV mandates. 40% less labor.
