The Tudor Dixon Podcast: Is Government Being Weaponized Against the People?

Michigan’s 2026 elections could reshape who controls two of the most powerful offices in the state. Tudor Dixon sits down with Republican Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd and Secretary of State candidate Anthony Forlini to discuss their campaigns, election integrity, public safety and their argument that government has become increasingly weaponized against the people. Lloyd takes aim at Attorney General Dana Nessel’s record and explains how he says he would refocus the Michigan Attorney General’s office on fighting crime, supporting law enforcement, protecting victims and holding government accountable. Forlini discusses his campaign for Michigan Secretary of State, his experience overseeing elections as Macomb County Clerk and his push for greater election transparency. The conversation also examines the battle over the Citizens Only Voting ballot initiative and the controversy surrounding hundreds of thousands of petition signatures submitted to put the proposal before Michigan voters. Tudor, Lloyd and Forlini also discuss Gretchen Whitmer, Jocelyn Benson, Garland Gilchrist, crime and public safety, government overreach, small businesses, election administration and why the Attorney General and Secretary of State races could have consequences far beyond Michigan. Can Republicans restore what Lloyd and Forlini describe as “law and order” and accountability in state government? Tudor gets their case directly from the candidates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
