Gov. Whitmer Pardons Aidan Cluckinson, Rooting for a Lions Thanksgiving Win
LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving. The turkey’s name, Aidan Cluckinson, was submitted by Valentina, a young Michigander from South Lyon. The name was selected from nearly 4,500 entries in the statewide contest. Aidan Cluckinson is the third turkey pardoned since the governor took office.
“Today, we come together to continue our tradition of pardoning a turkey,” said Governor Whitmer. “This year’s winning name is Aidan Cluckinson, which was one of hundreds of submissions based on our beloved Detroit Lions. The team has really captured our hearts and made us all hopeful for a Super Bowl this year. This Thanksgiving, I hope everyone enjoys time with loved ones, finds a way to give back to the community, and keeps on cheering for our Lions.”
“As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, I am thrilled to be here today to pardon Aidan Cluck-in-son,” said MDARD Director Boring. “He is the definition of true grit and never gets fouled. He will be joining all of us on Thanksgiving Day as the Detroit Lions take wing and fly to their next victory on the road to the Super Bowl.”
Last year, the governor pardoned Dolly Pardon, which was selected from more than 3,900 entries in the statewide contest. In 2022, the governor pardoned Mitch E. Gander.
