My fellow Michiganders,
We are proud of the slate of candidates nominated at Saturday’s convention where over 2,100 enthusiastic and determined Republican Party delegates showed up to ensure we have strong candidates across the board in November.
The winning candidates did it the right way, and the party listened to the delegates ahead of convention to resolve any issues and to avoid disunity on the floor.
One thing is clear after Saturday, and that’s the fact that the Michigan Republican Party is unified behind a slate of winning candidates in 2026.
