Tudor Dixon Weighs 2026 Michigan Governor, Senate Bids

Tudor Dixon, a Republican business executive and former gubernatorial candidate, is contemplating another bid for office in Michigan, potentially for governor or the U.S. Senate in 2026. She has yet to decide which race to enter but emphasizes her commitment to bringing manufacturing jobs back and supporting President Donald Trump's 'America First' agenda. Dixon lost the 2022 gubernatorial race against Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is term-limited and cannot run again in 2026. Several other candidates have announced their intentions to run for governor, including Republicans Aric Nesbitt and Democrats Jocelyn Benson and Garlin Gilchrist. The Senate race will be open following Democratic Senator Gary Peters’ decision not to seek re-election. Dixon plans to engage with voters to determine where she can best serve Michigan.
