The plaintiffs are Republican state committee members who are trying to force out Kristina Karamo and gain control of party bank accounts and other assets.
Karamo has filed a motion in the Kent County Circuit Court to have the case dismissed. She says she can only be removed by Republican delegates who elected her last year to lead the state party.
Former President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Hoekstra – who says he’s already gone to work repairing relationships and the state party’s collapsed finances.
The leadership fight continues as the Michigan Republicans’ presidential caucuses are a little more than two weeks away.
