James Eyes Michigan Governorship | Detroit News

Congressman John James is launching a bold bid for Michigan governor, facing Perry Johnson in a high-stakes Republican primary on August 4. James zeroes in on wildfire resilience, arguing that tackling root causes like downed timber from past storms can curb emissions rivaling nationwide vehicle pollution—and position Michigan as a national leader in climate-ready preparedness. He’s ditching Washington for Lansing, confident his business acumen and track record of securing federal funds—including $300 million for Selfridge—will fuel Michigan’s economy. With a nod to Trump’s endorsement as proof of his grit, James also backs his running mate’s congressional race and vows to energize the GOP ticket. His sights are set on a primary win and a November general election victory, promising to lead Michigan toward a future where everyone thrives—drawing on the discipline he forged in combat.
