The Republican candidate for Michigan governor hit the campaign trail alongside state officials and some from out of state Friday

During a townhall event, Republican nominee Tudor Dixon hammered her opponents on education and parental rights issues.

An ongoing dispute over books available in Dearborn Public Schools libraries also arose at multiple points throughout the evening. Dixon says she hopes to make inroads within that community.

“We are going to plan an event over there and talk to parents because like I said, I think listening is really important to find out what those communities are looking for, what they need, and I hope that we can earn their vote.”

Earlier in the day, Dixon hosted Arizona Governor Doug Ducey who co-chairs the Republican Governors Association.

She says she’s looking forward to support from him as well.
