RETURN OF DIXON

In March of this year former 2022 governor candidate Tudor Dixon was expected to announce as a candidate for governor or the U.S. Senate, but then in July her campaign office issued the news that she would not be seeking either of those offices next year. Instead, she said she would continue traveling the state promoting the message of Donald Trump. Now we have it on good word that you can expect a formal announcement soon – September 11 to be exact – that she will be seeking the Republican party nomination next year for the office of Secretary of State. We have also picked up a rumor that Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini, a Republican who served at one point in time as a township supervisor and then in the state House from 2011-2016, is also wrestling with whether he will also ask the party convention next year for the SOS nomination. Incumbent Democrat Jocelyn Benson is term-limited and now running for governor. Two Democrats have formally announced for the SOS office. Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum has already thrown her hat in the ring. Joining her is Aghogho Edevbie who has served as deputy secretary of state since 2023. Byrum was a member of the state House from 2007-2012, representing the 57th district. Ebevbie, a lawyer, was at one time the assistant corporation counsel in Wayne County.
