Detroit police chief preps Michigan governor campaign against Whitmer

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Detroit Police Chief James Craig, a Republican and a veteran of police departments around the country, is preparing to challenge Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, potentially giving the GOP a formidable candidate in one of the midterm election’s highest profile gubernatorial contests.

Craig has spent recent days meeting with GOP leaders, including Ron Weiser, the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, according to a person familiar with the deliberations.

Word of Craig’s interest comes as the country grapples issues of race and policing following a year that saw high-profile killings of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement. The May 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis resulted in a national wave of protests and a renewed focus on police conduct.

Craig, who is Black, recently praised the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial in that case, saying, "the justice system worked." But he said the case "was a stain on our profession" and said it was not "reflective" of law enforcement as a whole.

1. He agrees with suppressing POC voting rights?

2. He has been very impressive as Detroit Police Chief

3. Don't vote for a Black politician because he/she is Black.

The White Nationalists (Republicans) has used this tactic many times that has dire consequences for Fairness/Justice Society.

Remember:
1. Clarence Thomas (Current Supreme Court Justice)
2. Ken Blackwell (Former Ohio Secretary of State)
3. Daniel Cameron (Current Attorney General of Kentucky)
4. Tim Scott (US Senator, South Caroline)

Just to name a few.

4. He might have to beat John James in the primary.

John James is another black republican who seems to run a good campaign. Well, "good", except for his senatorial race losses to both Michigan senators, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters.

I wish him luck in his next loss, to Gretchen Whitmer.
