Both Republican John James and Democrat Jocelyn Benson have taken on endorsements from emergency workers and veterans in their campaigns for Michigan governor.

Candidates on both sides of the aisle have called for reforms of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the state agency who control subsidy spending.

James is in a tight race for the Republican nomination for Michigan governor with businessman Perry Johnson, former state Attorney General Mike Cox and state senator Aric Nesbitt.

“We have multiple polls internal and otherwise saying I’m up by double digits in the primary, and all public polling is showing that I'm not only up in the primary, but I’m up in the general on Jocelyn Benson and Mike Duggan," said Rep. John James (R-MI), who's running for Michigan governor in 2026.

Michigan U.S. Representative John James, a frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, doesn't plan to participate in a debate later this month.

Over a dozen candidates have jumped into the race to replace term-limited Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer. WCMU's AJ Jones provides an update from the campaign trail.
