I’m watching, but I find it odd that of the “35”, there are only 3 names listed. I live in west Michigan and have been a political junkie for over 30 years. Not one of the names they did list in the article do I recognize.
We did manage to primary Peter Meijer, and before that Justin Amash.
Thank you.
Jim Haveman, the director of the former Department of Community Health under Republican governors Rick Snyder and John Engler, said he hadn’t seen enough substance from Dixon’s platform.
“Having been in both with Governor Engler and Governor Snyder, I know what government can do to make this state better. And I just haven’t seen a platform from the candidate to make a difference,” Haveman said of Dixon.
Other participants of Republicans for Whitmer’s 35-member leadership council include major Republican donor Bill Parfet; former State Reps. Doug Hart, Mike Pumford and Mickey Knight; from State Sens. Tony Rocca and Mel Larsen; former U.S. Rep. and state legislator Joe Schwarz; election attorney Joe Pirich and former Michigan Chamber of Commerce lobbyist Bob LaBrandt.
