  • I’ve fought the utility companies, Big Pharma, and major insurance companies that were ripping off Michigan seniors and taxpayers – and delivered for you. I’m not afraid to take on the big fights… and that’s exactly what Michigan needs right now.

  • When big utility companies tried to stick Michigan families with higher rates, I took them on as Attorney General. They lost. We won. Now I'm running for Governor because the fight isn't over. We need to lower costs, eliminate the income tax, and put more money back in the pockets of hardworking Michiganders. I'll never stop fighting for you.

  • I grew up as a son of the working class here in Michigan. My parents came to Michigan because it was a place where you could achieve any dream through hard work. But that has slipped away because politicians have sold us out… Politicians like John James who says he’s working to “help bring our jobs back from Mexico and China,” while his business is importing as much as 38 million pounds of Chinese auto parts into Michigan, including this year! Lansing is full of sell outs. They sell out to th

  • Michigan has everything it needs to succeed. What we've been missing is leadership willing to fight for it. For too long, we've watched jobs leave, costs rise, and opportunities disappear. I'm running because I know we can do better. Together, we'll eliminate the income tax, fix our schools, grow our economy, and make Michigan a place where our kids can build their future instead of looking for one somewhere else. If you're ready to Make Michigan Great Again, I'm asking you to join our campaig

  • I saved consumers billions because I wasn’t afraid to take the utilities to court for jacking up rates on working families & seniors. As your Governor, I will fire Whitmer’s cronies, end the Green New Scam, and get prices down again.

  • I’m the son of a carpenter and a maid. I’ll always fight for working families and seniors when the entrenched interests try to rip you off. As Attorney General, I took utilities all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court and stopped a $2.5 BILLION rate hike from hitting Michigan ratepayers. I beat them in court because I was not about to let these companies take billions more from hardworking people. They’re pushing the same egregious rate hikes now, and as your Governor I’ll take them head
