Jennifer M. Granholm was elected governor of Michigan 2002.

In 2006, she was re-elected with the largest number of votes ever cast for governor in Michigan.

As Governor, Granholm led the state through a brutal economic downturn that resulted from a meltdown in the automotive and manufacturing sectors.

She worked relentlessly to diversify the states economy, strengthen its auto industry, preserve the manufacturing sector, and add new, emerging sectors, such as clean energy, to Michigans economic portfolio.
