LANSING, Mich. (AP) Kalamazoo chiropractor Garrett Soldano raised nearly $625,000 since launching his run for governor, topping the field of Republican candidates vying to face Democrat Gretchen Whitmer next year.
Soldano, who launched his campaign in April after helping to lead a ballot drive to repeal a law she used to issue coronavirus restrictions, on Monday reported spending $250,000 as of last week, leaving him with $375,000 on hand with just over a year until the primary. Whitmer had $10.7 million in the bank after collecting $8.6 million since the start of 2021, a record for a gubernatorial candidate in a non-election year.

The award capped a long battle against a Detroit Police Department detective who, according to Ahmed s lawyer Wolfgang Mueller, framed him. The award from the panel stems from a federal lawsuit Ahmed filed against the officer in 2018.
