LANSING Michigan GOP billionaire Betsy DeVos, who served as education secretary under former President Donald Trump, has made no public statements about plans to run for governor of Michigan.
But you would never know that from reading the latest request for financial donations sent out by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s reelection campaign.

The reelection campaign of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is warning in a new fundraising letter that the Democrat faces a 2022 challenge from Republican Betsy DeVos, who served as U.S. education secretary under former President Trump.
But the Whitmer message may be playing fast and loose with the truth, one political watcher observed this week, because DeVos has made no public announcements about a gubernatorial run, the Detroit Free Press reported. DeVos is a threat to public education and the future of our state, and we need to be ready to counter her billionaire-funded campaign, the Whitmer message warns about DeVos’s non-existent bid, according to the newspaper.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan scored a resounding victory in Tuesday s primary election and will face Anthony Adams, ex-deputy mayor to former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, in the Nov. 2 general election.
The top two finishers Tuesday are members of the same generation - Duggan is 63 and Adams is 65 - and often talk about some of the same opportunities and challenges Detroit and its residents face. But
Duggan notched a lopsided victory with slightly over 72% of the vote while Adams trailed far behind with almost 10%, according to election results posted by Wayne County early Wednesday at 2:17 a.m. with 100% of the precincts fully reported. But the mayor indicated that the march to November would still be hard-fought.
