Gov. Whitmer says she is ready to run again and continue to lead Michigan.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Governor Gretchen Whitmer has submitted voter signatures to run for reelection, saying Michigan needs continued strong leadership as it emerges from tough times during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first-term Democrat thanked supporters near the Capitol Thursday before she and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist submitted the petitions that candidates must file.

More than 10 plus Republican candidates have indicated that they would like to challenge the Governor and run against her.

The field will narrow after the April 19 filing deadline.
