Trump-Endorsed Tudor Dixon Wins Michigan GOP Gubernatorial Primary – RedState

Tudor Dixon is projected to win the Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary, according to Decision Desk HQ.

As of 9:18 p.m. Eastern, Dixon has won 42.5 percent of the vote with 13 percent estimated in. Her nearest challenger, Garrett Soldano, is trailing at 19.3 percent.

Other candidates in the race include Kevin Rinke, Ryan Kelley, and Ralph Rebandt.

Dixon received a last-minute endorsement from the former president on Friday, July 29, RedState reported.

The projected nominee spoke with RedState on Saturday about her candidacy, and how she is focused on using her manufacturing background to boost the state’s economy.

From that interview:

CA: How do we bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S., and how do you plan to make Michigan really the gold standard for manufacturing as governor?

TD: We need to be friendly to the job creators and make sure that they feel that they have a friend in the government in Michigan, and that’s not happening right now. Even if you talk to the automotive industry, which is our legacy industry here in the state of Michigan, they’re even looking outside of the state of Michigan when they’re building new factories.

Even if it’s going to be a U.S. factory, it’s not coming to the state of Michigan anymore. The reasoning behind that is that the regulatory system in Michigan is just so bloated and out of control. They’ll tell me these are our largest industries, but even our smallest industries are telling me that if they wanna expand[…] the government will say, “You know, it’s gonna take a long time for us to get the permits. You might be able to break ground in eight months and then start making product within a year.” Whereas our neighboring states, and some of our Southern states, are saying, “We’re gonna help streamline the process. We’re gonna come alongside you. We know you’re in a race in manufacturing, and we wanna make sure that our state is the place for you to be, and we’re gonna have you break ground right away.” That’s not happening in Michigan.

The businesswoman will face off against incumbent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November. Cook Political Report rates the race as Lean Democratic, according to Dave Wasserman.

As this is breaking news, RedState will provide further updates as they become available.
