GOP Women in Michigan Asked to End Support for Trump

Out of all the President’s remarks that pollute our political system, those that are derogatory toward women are perhaps the most upsetting. The November elections are a chance to stand up to this offensive misrepresentation of American values. It is also a chance to demonstrate that support for the President and his amorality is not acceptable to Republican women across Michigan.

I have been a proud Republican for years and have been reluctant to support candidates on the other side of the aisle. But in early 2018 I was invited by my sister to attend a meet and greet with a democratic congressional candidate, Elissa Slotkin. I was immediately impressed by her bipartisan background, candor and honesty while answering questions. She called upon all of us to resist the toxic culture that is currently present in Washington D.C. After leaving this meeting I felt that this was someone I could definitely support.

I encourage my fellow Republican women to seize the opportunity that an election year presents. We have the ability to save our party by electing members of Congress who will stand up to the President when he degrades women. On election day this Republican woman is supporting Elissa Slotkin for Congress and I hope other Republican women join me – let’s join together to take back our party.
