This November, Michiganders Will Have The Opportunity To Change Course
“Gretchen Whitmer’s numerous failures have spurred Michiganders to become even more active in our elections processes, as we saw with last week’s historic high Republican voter turnout and as enthusiasm for Tudor Dixon grows. From failing to bring and keep manufacturing jobs in our state to implementing unconstitutional lock down measures and more, Michiganders are fed up with Whitmer’s incompetence. Tudor Dixon is the only answer to Gretchen Whitmer’s negligence, and we are confident voters will sweep the ballot box in a red wave this fall.” – Gustavo Portela, MIGOP Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director
