Controversies are a part of history. Explore the biggest scandals linked to Gretchen Whitmer.
Gretchen Whitmer is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the 49th governor of Michigan since 2019. As a member of the Democratic Party, her political career includes time in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006, followed by service in the Michigan Senate from 2006 to 2015. Her tenure as governor has placed her at the forefront of state-level politics, addressing various issues and challenges facing Michigan.
In April 2020, right-wing groups organized a protest against the COVID-19 restrictions at the Michigan State Capitol, with 3,000 to 4,000 protesters gathering.
In September 2020, Gretchen Whitmer's COVID-19-related orders, which were issued under the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act from March through September 2020, faced criticism from Republicans.
In October 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act was unconstitutional and also ruled that the 1976 Emergency Management Act did not give Whitmer the power, after April 30, to issue or renew any executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic after 28 days without Legislative approval.
In December 2020, Gretchen Whitmer vetoed legislation passed by the legislature to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act, despite the ongoing criticisms against her COVID-19 orders.
In May 2021, Gretchen Whitmer apologized after being photographed with a large group of unmasked people, with no social distancing, at a restaurant in East Lansing, violating state-mandated social distancing guidelines.
In July 2021, the legislature approved a citizen initiative to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act, which Gretchen Whitmer could not veto, leading to the repeal taking effect.
