Michigan’s Republican nominee for governor laid out her case for the office over the weekend, before a crowd in Texas, at a gathering of the GOP faithful

Michigan’s Republican nominee for governor laid out her case for the office over the weekend, before a crowd in Texas, at a gathering of the GOP faithful.

Commentator Tudor Dixon took the stage at the Texas Conservative Political Action Conference – or C-PAC – as a newly-selected GOP gubernatorial candidate.

And Dixon immediately trained her sights on her rival in November’s general election – Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer:

“She’s been ridin’ with Biden…and they’ve been driving our state off a cliff. Yes because in Michigan our economy has tanked…jobs…companies…families have fled our state…and people struggle to pay their bills.”

Democratic spokespeople responding to Dixon’s speech argue Whitmer is infusing funding into education and infrastructure, and claim the GOP nominee will support banning abortion in Michigan. Dixon has said she would make an exception to save the life of a mother.
