DETROIT, MICHIGAN, May 23, 2022 ~ Dick DeVos announced his family’s endorsement of businesswoman, conservative commentator, and Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon on “The Paul W. Smith Show.”
“Michigan deserves better frankly,” said Dick DeVos on “The Paul W. Smith Show.” “We’ve seen this movie before, back in 2006, where we had a failed governor that we reelected, and I think the state paid an enormous price. We cannot afford to do that again.”
The DeVos family was Michigan’s top campaign donor for the 2018 gubernatorial election, when family members gave over $11 million in contributions throughout 2017 and 2018, said non-profit Michigan Campaign Finance Network.
The endorsement could be a turning point for Dixon, who has raised less money than other GOP primary candidates such as Kevin Rinke and Perry Johnson, and lower polls than former Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
Hear DeVos tell Paul W. Smith more about his family’s endorsement, and hear Tudor Dixon talk about what she sees in the future for our state, below.
