“Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II announced Tuesday that he'd be entering the state's 2026 gubernatorial race, seeking to become Michigan's next Democratic governor. Gilchrist became Michigan's first Black lieutenant governor when he ran alongside Gretchen Whitmer in 2018. Whitmer, now in her second term, is term-limited after 2026, and the race to replace her is expected to be crowded.”
