Tudor Dixon, the Republican businessperson and conservative commentator who unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2022, is weighing another run for political office in 2026, but she hasn’t decided which one: U.S. Senate or governor, again.
“I want to do the most good for our beloved state,” she wrote Tuesday on the social platform X. “Both races present unique opportunities and different ways to benefit Michigan.”
“I will decide soon where my experience and talents would most benefit the state we love so dearly,” she added.
In her statement, Dixon praised President Trump, who endorsed her failed campaign against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) three years ago, for actions taken since his return to the White House in January and reaffirmed her support.
“President Trump is leading the way nationally. He is delivering on his promises to secure the border, bring manufacturing jobs home and boost energy independence,” she said. “I am committed to standing with President Trump to deliver on the America First agenda here in Michigan.”
Trump bested Democratic nominee former Vice President Kamala Harris in the Midwestern state by about 80,000 votes in last year’s election. A majority of Michiganders voted for former President Biden over Trump in the crucial swing state in 2020.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) announced in January he won’t seek another term in 2026.
Whitmer, a potential 2028 presidential contender, cannot seek reelection as governor in 2026 because of the state’s term limits.
