Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer waves from the stage on the fourth and last day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on August 22, 2024.

Gretchen Whitmer was born, raised and educated in Michigan, and after service in the State House and State Senate, she was elected Governor of Michigan in 2018, and re-elected in 2022. She recently published a memoir, True Gretch, but that achievement might be overshadowed if she wins our game.
