MIGOP Candidates Impress with Experience, Track Records
Lansing, MI – Tomorrow, the Michigan Republican Party (MIGOP) will meet in Mount Pleasant, MI, to officially nominate its candidates at a state convention. In contrast to the Michigan Democrat Party, the MIGOP has picked competent, professional, and experienced candidates to headline statewide offices.
The Republican candidate for Attorney General, Doug Lloyd, has more than 30 years of experience as a prosecutor, handling thousands of cases and putting bad guys behind bars. In comparison, the Democrat nominee for Attorney General, Soros-backed Eli Savit, refuses to prosecute certain crimes, like prostitution and drug possession, and has let dangerous criminals back on the street by ending cash bail. He also used his office to intimidate a victim of sexual assault.
Macomb County Clerk Tony Forlini is the Republican candidate for Secretary of State (SOS) and has a history of running safe and secure elections. When current SOS Jocelyn Benson refused to clean up the Qualified Voter File (QVF), Forlini went through Macomb County’s records himself, finding more than a dozen non-citizens registered to vote. Current Michigan Lieutenant Governor (LG) and Democat pick for SOS Garlin Gilchrist has no experience running elections, and only chose to run for the office as a consolation prize after Benson used her establishment connections to muscle him out of the race for governor.
There could not be a bigger contrast between the parties’ respective picks for LG either. State Representative Jay DeBoyer has spent his time in Lansing cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, defunding Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s corporate welfare program, and holding state government accountable through his chairmanship of the House Oversight Committee.
State Senator Winnie Brinks has spent her every waking hour in Lansing enabling Whitmer’s far-left agenda. As Majority Leader in the Senate, she pushed through radical policy after radical policy, including ending Right to Work, scrapping Michigan’s 3rd-grade reading law, and passing Whitmer’s Green New Scam, which will cost Michiganders an average of $2,700 a year.
Finally, the biggest contrast might be between Congressman John James and Jocelyn Benson, the Republican and Democrat candidates for governor. James is an Army veteran, flying combat missions as a helicopter pilot who spent his first term in Congress fighting the reckless spending and inflation of President Joe Biden’s administration. In his second term, he worked to secure key investments for Michigan, like a new fighter mission at Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
Benson’s 8 years as Secretary of State have been a never-ending series of failures. From allowing non-citizens to vote, to breaking campaign finance law by holding a campaign event in a public building, to a $9 million transparency website fiasco that was so bad her IT budget was taken away in a bipartisan budget.
“Tomorrow, the contrast between Republican and Democrat candidates will be clearer than ever,” said Gabe Butzke, a spokesperson for Michigan Forward Network. “In experience, policy, and track record, every Republican has an edge over the Democrat counterpart.”
