The Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary race has been chaotic thus far. In late May, the presumptive nominee, former Detroit police chief James Craig, was disqualified from the ballot because of a large number of fake signatures on his petitions. On June 9, FBI agents arrested candidate Ryan Kelley for his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Republicans in the state, however, remain intent on unseating Governor Gretchen Whitmer in the fall — and the other primary candidates have their own ideas about the best strategy for achieving that. In interviews with National Review, the GOP candidates largely agreed on most key policies but differed on which of those should be front and center in the campaign should they advance past the August 2 primary.
