6/10/22 - Candidates Hope To Be Considered In GOP Run For Governor

Friday, June 10, 2022 at 5:24 PM

James Craig and Perry Johnson are still working to have their names show up on the Primary Election ballots in August.

DETROIT (AP) — Former Detroit police Chief James Craig says he’ll run as a write-in candidate in the Republican primary for governor.

Fraudulent signatures on petitions tripped him up, leaving him short of the minimum to get on the Aug. 2 ballot.

Craig says he’s “not going to roll over.”

Craig was considered a GOP front-runner with wide name recognition in southeastern Michigan. But that was before he and four other Republicans were scratched from the ballot because of phony signatures turned in by paid circulators.

Business consultant Perry Johnson is asking a federal judge to revive his campaign and filed a lawsuit.

Encouraging Words From Your Bible

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
