Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Garrett Soldano and Attorney General endorsee Matt DePerno brought their campaigns to the Copper Country Sunday.
At a joint appearance at the Mine Shaft Entertainment Center, they spoke to about 70 supporters.
The themes were familiar. Both assailed Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s policy during the pandemic. Both continued the still-unsupported allegations of massive fraud in the 2020 election, with Soldano stating…
Soldano teed off on plans to convert to electric vehicles…
He ripped the state’s K-12 education system…
Saldano promised to bring more transparency to state government…
Deperno took aim at vaccine mandates…
He came down hard on critical race theory…
But, while Saldano claimed he’s now the front-runner in the race, it’s Dixon who’s been gaining traction. Last week, she became the only one of the five remaining GOP candidates to earn an endorsement from Michigan Right to Life. She had earlier been endorsed by the influential DeVos family, and is supported by Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey.
