Michigan law is clear: under MCL 168.931, giving or promising money, gifts, or other things of value to influence how someone votes is prohibited.
As a member of the House Election Integrity Committee and the Select Committee on Rules and Procedures of the State Board of Canvassers and Bureau of Elections, I am calling for a hearing to examine an incident involving a candidate’s spouse distributing free $10 gas cards alongside apparent campaign activity.
Multiple videos and media footage have raised questions, including allegations that recipients received campaign stickers in connection with the giveaway. These allegations deserve a thorough, impartial review to determine whether the law was violated.
I am hopeful my colleagues will take this issue seriously. Candidates and their campaigns must follow the law, and voters deserve transparency, accountability, and confidence in the integrity of our elections.
