Jackson Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig urged Michigan voters on Tuesday to declare independence from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2022, but stopped short of announcing his candidacy for governor during his first political speech.
Craig described his migration to the Republican Party and outlined his stances on various GOP touchstones during the roughly 20 minute address, which was preceded and followed by comments from Senate Majority Leaders Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser.
Craig, who is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial primary in the coming weeks, said his life experiences led him to become a Republican.
