Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who has regularly encouraged law abiding citizens to purchase firearms for self defense in the crime ridden city, plans to challenge Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2022.
Detroit News has the scoop:
Craig, who is expected Monday to announce his retirement from the department, told The Detroit News he will follow that press conference with one discussing his future plans.
He did not deny that he plans to run against Whitmer as a Republican.
"I'm a lifelong public servant," Craig said. "I want to continue to serve."
Prospects of Craig's gubernatorial ambitions were first reported by Charlie LeDuff on his "No BS News Hour" podcast and confirmed independently by The News with the source close to Craig.
The chief acknowledged he has discussed a potential candidacy with both state and national Republican officials.
Whitmer has come under fire for her handling of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, including implementing harsh restrictions while jetting off to freer states like Florida. She also is accused of pulling a Cuomo after forcing elderly patients with the disease back into nursing homes.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer refused to answer a reporter’s question asking who paid for the private jet she used to visit her father in Florida during her statewide travel advisories.
Whitmer was asked on Thursday by WWTV reporter Eric Lloyd for a response to the recent report by journalist Charlie LeDuff in Deadline Detroit that the governor approached wealthy businessmen in Detroit to use the private plane they share.
The embattled governor — who is facing down both the Florida travel scandal and the COVID-19 nursing home scandal in her state — declined to answer Lloyd's question.
She’s Toast!
when will the Dummycraps start calling him an Orea, like Tim Scott?
Half-whitler will pull some sort of fraud. Will it be enough? I hope not.
Craig is a good man and a great leader.
Would be an excellent choice for GOV.
He kept law and order in Detroit by working
with his community leaders. A gifted leader.

Maybe. I guess it all depends on which candidate the Dominion voting machines will be supporting this time. Here’s a story out of Michigan:
The Wicked Witch of the Midwest.
Longtime Detroit Police Chief is Running Against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Thank goodness there is someone with enough guts/brains to take on the witless moron. Good Luck.
“She’s Toast!”
Not sure, my sis and her husband continue to fully support witless, and there are more obamabots that will also.
A recent filing in that case:

Yes indeed.
She wont have to do a thing...Dominion Voting Machines will do all the heavy lifting...
“Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who has regularly encouraged law abiding citizens to purchase firearms for self defense”
...anyone know how to send his campaign money?
Doesn’t MI deserve a legit conservative/MAGA candidate?
Been over ten years since I left S.E. Michigan for a safer BOL. Detroit wasn’t what I’d call a truly safe city, but it never got to be like Baltimore or St. Louis or Chicago.
But you haven’t heard of any BLM or Antifa BS going down in Detroit. They know to not mess with Craig.
As of today, May 9, 2021, you are 5 TIMES more likely to die with Covid-19 in locked down Michigan, that you are in wide open, wide open borders Texas.
That is failed leadership, right there.
You live in Michigan, does this guy have a chance to beat her? I imagine her polling numbers are tanked and she is very unpopular.
Maybe. The problem of election fraud by the Marxists still hasn’t been addressed and if they can steal a POTUS election they certainly can steal an election for Gov. I keep hearing people say “Oh when we win the midterms” or “Trump will win 2024”... WAIT A MINUTE!! Why would they think that when absolutely NOTHING has changed, nothing has been done about the Marxists election fraud? We have to show ID just to get the vaccine shot but showing ID to vote is racist and Jim Crow? Where are the Republicans telling these a-holes to go F themselves?
That last poll I read about claimed her favorability rating among MI voters was >50%. She may be tough to beat.
God bless Chief Craig in his righteous battle against the evil Whitmer.
Big problems: 1)multitudes of unwashed Always Dem Michiganders in my state love anyone with a “D” next to their name.
And
2) they quickly rallied to stop any investigation of vote fraud, although even the dull witted Dems I talked to knew it was crooked.
The media in this state is really into virtue signaling and wanting to avoid looking anti-feminist or non-BLM.
We have a lot of good people outside Southeastern Michigan but when the late night votes being counted have to make up for them the crooked officials always “find” enough Detroit, Inkster, Ypsilanti and Oak Park votes to make up for the rest of the state.
The 10,400 vote Trump win (with my vote) was an anamoly. They are fiercely criminal now.
Go, Craig.
