The Gretchen Driskell Record
Congressional candidate Gretchen Driskell has served nearly four years in the State House and
she has never passed a bill. Yes, 1300 days in office and $300,000 in taxpayer-funded pay, but
she has not passed a single bill. Not even an amendment to a bill.
Maybe Gretchen Driskell has never passed a bill because she values campaigning for Congress
over serving her constituents in the State House. Gretchen Driskell has been caught twice
skipping votes in Lansing in order to campaign in Washington DC.
Maybe she has never passed a bill because people do not trust her. Gretchen Driskell has for
years been falsely claiming to be a real estate broker and falsely calling herself a Certified Public
Accountant.
Maybe Gretchen Driskell is ineffective because she is too liberal to find common ground. She
supported a massive energy tax increase that would destroy many Michigan jobs and raise our
energy costs.
