Ruth Johnson for State Senate

@mrwaltertaylor @PatriotPostGirl She borrowed her bonded for what she did to, but the roads are worse than when she started.

@PatriotPostGirl What happened to Governor Whitmer's promise of fixing the damned roads?

In Grand Rapids, we wait until we see the sky through our overpasses on 131 to fix them. Then we patch the holes and pray it holds until next construction season. This is what you get when Governor Whitmer invests your $31B.

@PatriotPostGirl In her first term after she said, she would fix the damn Rhoades she bonded or borrowed the money. Those roads will be bad before the Bond is paid. The damn roads are worse than what they were when she started.

@KamalaHarris Please note that it was the Clinton’s that said the Republicans were manipulated by the Russians for elections. However, time has shown that it was the Clinton’s that used the Russians to help them. Yes, as the past Secretary of State we need paper ballots so we double check.

Paper ballots are the smartest, safest way to ensure your vote is secure against attacks by foreign actors. Russia can’t hack a piece of paper like they can a computer. We introduced the Secure Elections Act to ensure our elections are safeguarded. We must be ready.

@WallStreetApes This is an American! You should be innocent till proven guilty. Too much techie stuff! With this kind of knowledge, government has gone too far and makes mistakes.

This is WILD American went to a parking garage in Detroit with a friend. They leave the parking garage and the friend who drove didn’t pay That parking garage somehow automatically identified her by her phone, charged her card and texted her a receipt with the make, model and license plate of her friends vehicle Again she didn’t drive, she didn’t interact with any machines, the parking garage was able to just identify her and charge her because she had her cell phone with her This is real The building was the Fisher Building garage in Detroit. It’s a shopping area It’s a modern automated parking management system on Metropolis Parking’s platform that has License Plate Recognition cameras combined with phone-linked accounts and stored payment details Because this woman had been there before and paid, the system saved her data, recognized her by her phones signal and automatically charged her with a previous payment method Technology is going way too far

@JocelynBenson Largely unaffordable because of high property taxes. Also Data Centers have driven up electrical rates. Unfortunately, slick lit and nice ads are not as accurate as where someone takes their money from. Benson just took $1.5 million from a Data Centers magnate. Actions speak..

Too many Michiganders are forced to make long morning commutes because housing is unaffordable in the communities they serve — but I have a plan to fix that as governor.

@DaveBondyTV Law should include intervention in first grade to help young students learn to read and be successful. Repeating a grade that did not help the child for $10,000 is failure. After intense intervention to help a child to read, and if they can’t, then hold them back. 2/3 of MI kids

Michigan lawmakers have voted to restore the state’s third-grade reading retention law. Supporters say the goal is to make sure students can read at grade level before moving on to fourth grade.

@RannXerox @Th_Midwesterner The water that the data center use is heated & contaminated. Then it goes back into our ground water. They’re heavy industrial with lots of noise, air, & water pollution. They do not belong in cornfields. They need to clean the air and water that they use like auto factories do.

@Th_Midwesterner If the data center built their own power plant, selling the excess energy on the grid, and build out a closed loop cooling system that uses minimal water, and build not on "wet lands"... would it be OK then? This is my criteria. They are about as noisey as other industrial sites

EGLE: Google data center pitched as ‘community asset’ will destroy 13.5 acres of wetlands, use 3.6 million gallons of water per day themidwesterner.news/2026/06/egle-g…

@Tachardiella @Th_Midwesterner @shoesonplease You should be. They do not have to report hardly anything the automotive factories do. The discharge of this water has a lot of contaminants in it. The golf courses pull water and it goes right back into the ground. The water that comes out of data center is very contaminated.

@Th_Midwesterner @shoesonplease We are the state with the third most golf courses which use 35 million gallons of water per day. Sorry, not so worried about a data center.

@WWJ950 Michigan has no way to tell whether somebody is a citizen or not when they when they vote. It’s all done on the honor system. When I was Secretary of State I found over 3000 non-citizens registered to vote. 83% of the people want photo ID. Vote for Citizen Only Voting Initiative.

@MonicaYatooma Exactly Monica. Somebody has to run it through a system and to each home with pumps and treatment. All of it has to be paid by hard-working people. The way to prosperity for all is making sure kids get a good education, low crime and low taxes. It’s a simple recipe.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Debbie Dingell want a new $20 BILLION-a-year federal water subsidy.⁣ ⁣ Here’s my question: What about the family making just above the income cutoff who’s working two jobs, paying their mortgage, buying groceries, and struggling to pay their own water bill?⁣ ⁣ Are you paying theirs too?⁣ ⁣ Nope.⁣ ⁣ Instead, the government takes more money from taxpayers, sends it to Washington, runs it through a massive bureaucracy, and then hands it back to selected recipients while everyone else gets stuck with the bill.⁣ ⁣ That’s the Democrat solution to everything: spend money they don’t have, create another federal program, and send taxpayers the tab.⁣ ⁣ And let’s be honest—there’s no such thing as “free” water assistance. Someone pays for it.⁣ ⁣ That someone is you.

@metrodetroitn I’m so sorry. Tough stuff. My 26 year old daughter had it and my brother has had to fight it for years.

🚨Two people were injured in an overnight freeway shooting on I-94 in Detroit. Tuesday’s shooting marks at least the sixth reported freeway shooting since May 1, 2026. It also comes just days after a driver was injured in another I-94 freeway shooting.

@PatriotPostGirl And she says as our governor, she’ll make sure that our air and water are protected. However, it was her husband who reportedly made millions of dollars forcing Saline Twp into a hyperscale Data Center in cornfields that will emit millions of tons of pollutants into our air.

Jocelyn Benson, with four racial discrimination lawsuits filed against her, says her job as governor will be to “fight with you for fairness in the workplace.” She can’t even keep that promise in her own office.

@shoesonplease Using 34.86 tons/year NOx, a broad diesel-engine estimate would be: Pollutant Estimate NOx 34.86 tons/year CO₂ ~1,200–5,000 tons/year Carbon monoxide (CO) ~7–15 tons/year PM / PM2.5 ~1–3 tons/year VOCs / hydrocarbons ~2–5 tons/year SO₂ Heavy industrial - not fields

FOIA requests revealed Whitmer’s involvement with Benson’s data center before permits were issued: Read about it on enjoyer dot com -

@BradPaquetteMI They contaminate the air, the soil and the water. They will be obsolete soon, and the citizens will most likely be left with the cleanup. Some of it will be considered toxic waste, and cost millions to dispose of. There’s nothing that helps. Those residents only hurts them.

What the data center in Dowagiac, Michigan sounds like 24/7. There are houses all around it. They want to expand, but won't meet with constituents. These guys don't even attempt to be halfway decent neighbors.

@TradeUnionJake Benson is one of the most elusive and secret people in government. She has no system in place that determines if somebody’s a non-citizen when they register or vote. It is the honor system. The clerks are not to ask the person that does not check the US citizen box per Benson.

There’s a reason they call him Hollywood Swanson, and she may not be ready for prime time. This doesn’t have anything to do with governing ability per se, but leadership and communication skills obviously go hand in hand.

@gretchenwhitmer Michigan is in the bottom 10 states for almost every important measure of success. We are 45th in education.

When we work together, we win together. I’m excited to be going across the country to help the next generation of leaders learn how to win tough races and deliver results for their communities. Thinking about running for office or working on a campaign? Visit secure.ngpvan.com/Y0JSjHrF0Uq969…

@MISenDems Qualified voters are disenfranchised from the 17 percent of the far left that do not want verifiable ID. Combined with a SoS that changed the rules and has told clerks not to ask if they are a citizens even if the do stating they are. Now 37,000 people voted that do not match SSA

Voting rights are under attack from Washington DC, and Michigan's leaders aren't standing by. We've introduced the Michigan Voting Rights Act to prevent voter suppression, strengthen election security, and protect voter access for communities across the state. Here’s how it will make a difference: abc12.com/news/state/mic…

@GovWhitmer After falling to 45 place in the USA in education. A 1/2 year left and now she is going to help our kids? Our state is failing in almost every important measurable way. She will leave our state broke in many ways.

Earlier this year, I set a clear goal: Every Child Reads. To support our long-term focus on literacy, I’m bringing leaders together to serve on our Every Child Reads Champions Council. Literacy is a marathon, not a miracle. Our bipartisan work must continue after I leave office.

@shoesonplease @downi75 Not much to celebrate! The air pollution alone will be worse than some heavy industrial facilities. When they are obsolete the clean up will be hundreds of millions. Who will pay?

Today, they announced they’re throwing an additional $10M into the Saline Rec Center in a desperate attempt to win back public trust:

@xcolinjacksonx @DavidEggert00 Did they explain why they’re going to use hundreds of diesels with no pollution control that will pollute the air, ground and water? When they test them and use them for back ups, they will pollute more than some heavy industrial facilities with some of the worst toxins.
