Please read my latest at @readsludge: Some shady money is playing a role in the Democratic primary for governor in Michigan, which takes place on Tuesday and features a Blue Cross Blue Shield-aligned frontrunner. readsludge.com/2018/08/03/sha…
@readsludge .@AbdulElSayed's campaign tells me, “[Whitmer’s] outside group, Build a Better Michigan, is nothing but a shell for dark money PACs, unlimited money from corporate CEOs, and corporations like Blue Cross Blue Shield who have interest in a Whitmer-led Michigan."
@readsludge @AbdulElSayed .@gretchenwhitmer's father is the former CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Blue Cross hosted a fundraiser w/ the Whitmer campaign that netted her $145,000—her biggest fundraiser of the election.
Dem Candidates @AbdulElSayed and @ShriForMI both support a single-payer health care. Whitmer says its not realistic for Michigan right now.
@AbdulElSayed @ShriForMI El-Sayed has racked up many of the major progressive endorsements including from @OurRevolution, @justicedems, @DFAaction & @MoveOn.
Whitmer has endorsements from @emilyslist (donor to outside group supporting her), @mippadvocates, @michigansierra & a ton of unions.
