Jennifer M. Granholm
Michigan
Jennifer M. Granholm was re-elected the 47th governor of Michigan in November 2006. A fiscal hawk, she has successfully resolved more than $6 billion in budget deficits since taking office in 2003, trimming more from state government than any governor in Michigan's history. She is working aggressively to diversify Michigan's economy, ensure world-class educational opportunities for every Michigan student, create universal access to affordable health care, and stand up for Michigan workers and families during tough economic times.
