MI-GOV: Michigan governor race gets crowded: 'The more, the better'
Lansing — The race to be Michigan's next governor has added a new contender with Republican former Attorney General Mike Cox announcing his campaign this week, but many within the GOP are preparing for the 2026 contest to get even more crowded.
Already, Cox of Livonia, former U.S. House candidate Anthony Hudson of Grand Blanc Township, U.S. Rep. John James of Shelby Township and state Senate Minority Aric Nesbitt of Porter Township have formally announced their plans to seek the Republican nomination for governor.
At least four other prominent Michigan Republicans have been considering joining the race or have been quietly taking steps to set up a campaign: 2022 GOP nominee for governor Tudor Dixon of Norton Shores, businessman and former gubernatorial hopeful Perry Johnson of Bloomfield Hills, former state House Speaker Tom Leonard of DeWitt and businessman and former candidate for governor Kevin Rinke of Bloomfield Township.
In an interview, Johnson, who's known for his work developing quality and registration standards for the manufacturing industry, said of the potentially crowded Republican primary field, "the more, the better."
