Lt. Gov Calls for Special Election, McDonald Rivet Remains Silent

June 3, 2025

After 150 days, more than 270,000 Michiganders are still left without representation because of self-serving Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet.

Just last week, Michigan’s Lieutenant Governor admitted the district’s residents are “ready” for a special election while stating he hopes it’s “happening soon.”

Yet, Kristen McDonald Rivet remains silent.

After McDonald Rivet bailed on her constituents in her state legislature district to get a promotion, Governor Whitmer has refused to call a special election to fill the seat. This is by far the longest time frame in Governor Whitmer’s tenure between a State Senate seat vacancy and a special election announcement.

After 150 days, will Kristen McDonald Rivet remain silent despite growing frustration from her constituents or call on Governor Whitmer to hold a special election?
