Former Detroit Police Chief Leads GOP Hopefuls in Cash for Michigan Governor Race
Michigan | November 1, 2021
With the 2022 midterm elections now just a year and a week away, it might be a good time to check in with how the candidates that are vying to line up as the GOP candidate for Governor are doing. Well, at least in the department of CASH. The Michigan primary to select who will be facing incumbent Gretchen Whitmer is August 2nd, 2022 — just 275 days away. So, let’s go to the tote board to see who is in the (money) race.
Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig reported raising more than $1.42 million dollars this past quarter, besting 11 other candidates vying for the GOP nomination for Michigan governor.
Last quarter was the first Craig was required to report, after opening his campaign committee back in July.
“I’m humbled and honored at the outpouring of support we are seeing from Michiganders across this state,” Craig said in a statement.
Craig, who many have pointed to as a favorite to win the GOP primary, received contributions from former Michigan GOP Governors Rick Snyder and John Engler.
Kalamazoo-based chiropractor Garrett Soldano came in second among GOP contenders, raising more than $495,979 this quarter. His grassroots campaign has raised $1.1 million to date. “I’m incredibly proud of this campaign and grateful to our supporters who contribute to our vision for a better Michigan,” Soldano said in a news release…(Excerpts from the Red State)

Michigan Attorney General, Police to Probe People Who Made Election Fraud Claims
Michigan | July 9, 2021
Michigan’s attorney general, with assistance from police officers, will investigate people who claimed election fraud happened during the 2020 contest.
A spokeswoman for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told news outlets on Thursday that the Democrat will probe people who allegedly made false claims, with help from Michigan State Police.
The spokeswoman said Nessel decided to launch the probes on a request from Republicans in the Michigan Senate.
A Republican-controlled Senate panel last month issued a report saying it “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.”
A portion of the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee report focused on Antrim County, where the county clerk falsely reported on the morning after Election Night that Democrat Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump by thousands of votes. The senators said their review backed the position of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Antrim County officials, which is that the false reporting was due to human error and was ultimately rectified…

Michigan Judge Dismisses Antrim County Election Case
Michigan | May 18, 2021
A Michigan judge on Tuesday threw out a case challenging the 2020 election in Antrim County.
13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ruled that plaintiff William Bailey, a resident of Antrim County, had received the relief he sought when he filed the lawsuit last year following the election.
Bailey was seeking an independent audit of Antrim County’s election but Elsenheimer decided that the February risk-limiting audit conducted by county clerks, who reviewed a random sample of some 18,000 ballots, was sufficient under state law.
“There is no right either in the constitutional section or the statue for the independent audit that Mr. Bailey seeks,” Elsenheimer told the court.
“As the plaintiffs have either received all of the requested relief or are not entitled to the relief requested as a matter of law … the plaintiff’s claims are, in fact, moot,” he added…
