Gretchen Whitmer’s Sister May Run for Congress

“The Whitmer political dynasty might be expanding — into the New York City suburbs,” Politico reports.

“Liz Whitmer Gereghty, the Westchester County-based sister of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, is seriously considering a run for one of the House’s most high-profile battleground seats this cycle.”

“If she runs, Gereghty would be targeting GOP Rep. Mike Lawler, who shockingly upset House Democrats’ campaign chief last cycle. A launch is tentatively planned for mid-April, according to a person familiar with her plans — which would likely make her the first Democrat to declare a bid. And Gereghty, who’s lived in the area for two decades, boasts connections to one of the party’s most prominent figures that could bring a dose of star power to any potential bid.”
