This year was spent battling COVID lawsuits, election lawsuits and fighting to shutdown Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac. Nessel’s office and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are committed to shutting it down permanently.

Nessel has spent a good part of 2020 defending the governor’s COVID executive orders and orders from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. SHe’s hopeful that the flurry of legal activity goes down as the vaccine becomes more readily available.
