Aric Nesbitt, the Republican who serves as the minority leader in the Michigan Senate, has now reportedly announced his intention to run for governor on Tuesday, making him the first Republican to enter the race in advance of the midterm elections in 2026.
In the film, Nesbitt provided a comprehensive account of the agricultural history of his family in Lawton, which is situated in the southwestern part of the state.
“Michiganders deserve so much better than what they’re getting from these Democrats up in Lansing. What we’ve seen is higher taxes, more spending, more debt, and less jobs.” Nesbitt noted in a new video announcement.
In addition, Nesbitt advocated for the elimination of the state’s restrictions for the use of a wide variety of vehicles, increased investments in manufacturing, and the prohibition of sanctuary cities.
Nesbitt is joining the contest with Mike Duggan, the Mayor of Detroit, who is running as an independent candidate. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, is unable to run for a third term as governor of Michigan in 2026 because her term runs out.
