The MEA recommends Jennifer M. Granholm for re-election to the office of Governor.
Jennifer Granholm was elected the 47th governor of the State of Michigan in November 2002. Since taking office, she has successfully resolved over $4 billion dollars in budget deficits, trimming more from state government than any governor in Michigan’s history. A fiscal hawk, Granholm has worked to ensure that state spends its money wisely. Her goal is to grow Michigan’s economy and maintain the state’s high quality of life.
Despite tough fiscal times, Granholm has increased spending for Michigan’s public schools. In 2005, for the first time, classrooms in Michigan received record funding at levels promised by the previous administration. She has advocated for universal access to higher education and has challenged universities to hold the line on tuition increases. She has proposed a first-in-the-nation program that would award $4,000 to every Michigan student who completes two years of post-secondary education.
