Anthony Forlini works for himself. Garlin Gilchrist works for us.

Anthony Forlini

1. We pay more. Forlini’s utility donors get more.

Michigan has the highest electric rates in the Midwest and among the worst outages in the country. Anthony Forlini took thousands from the big utility companies, then voted to let them police themselves.

2. He raised the gas tax. Then he made sure it keeps rising.

Forlini voted to raise the gas tax and tie it to inflation forever. He voted to cut unemployment benefits and take the tax credit away from working families.

3. He wants to decide for you.

Forlini supported overturning Roe v. Wade. He voted to ban abortion coverage from basic health insurance, even for rape or incest.

4. He’d let Trump help run our elections.

Forlini hired a January 6 protester to recruit poll workers. He says “someone’s conspiracy theories are another person’s truths.” He wants to run Michigan’s elections in “partnership” with the Trump administration.

5. Follow the money.

Forlini voted to keep dark money secret. Now the DeVos family is writing him seven max checks in one day.
