Republican Announces Run For Governor
Conservative fighter and combat veteran Rep. John James (R-MI) has officially entered the race for Michigan governor, promising to bring back common sense leadership, economic prosperity, and American values after years of radical leftist control.
“Michigan has been hijacked by out-of-touch elites. It’s time to return power to the people,” James said in a campaign video that quickly went viral among grassroots conservatives.
🔥 “President Trump and I Have Had Each Other’s Backs for 8 Years”
James made it clear: his campaign is rooted in the America First movement.
“President Trump is doing his part to Make America Great Again,” James said. “And I’m ready to do mine — to bring prosperity, safety, and sanity back to Michigan.”
John James, a West Point graduate and decorated Army helicopter pilot, was first elected to Congress in 2022. Prior to that, he ran strong U.S. Senate campaigns in 2018 and 2020, earning national praise for his unapologetically pro-America platform.
✅ Conservative Agenda, Real Results
James says he’s running to defend parental rights, rebuild Michigan’s manufacturing base, secure elections, and restore law and order.
“We need a governor who doesn’t bow to woke corporations, special interests, or radical activists. I will fight for Michigan families — not global elites,” he said.
His campaign is already energizing Michigan conservatives, many of whom are frustrated with skyrocketing taxes, crumbling infrastructure, and a government they say is more focused on political correctness than real progress.
🗳️ GOP Primary Heats Up
James joins Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt in what’s shaping up to be a battle-tested GOP primary. On the Democrat side, Biden ally Jocelyn Benson and progressive Sheriff Chris Swanson are fighting for their party’s nomination, while liberal Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is mounting an independent run.
Despite Democrat wins in 2022, Republicans say the momentum is shifting. With President Trump flipping Michigan red in 2024, conservatives believe now is the time to reclaim the governor’s mansion.
🇺🇸 “We’re Taking Our State Back”
James closed his announcement with a clear message: Michigan belongs to the people, not the political class.
“We’ve seen what weak leadership brings — higher crime, broken schools, and a war on our freedoms. Enough is enough. With faith, family, and freedom as our foundation, we’re going to take our state back.”
⚡ Why This Matters for 2025
With Trump leading a nationwide America First resurgence, Michigan could play a crucial role in restoring constitutional values at the state level. John James is positioning himself as a bold, capable leader who won’t back down from the fight.
