Tudor Dixon says will not run for Michigan governor, US Senate seat

Tudor Dixon, former GOP nominee for Michigan governor, says she will not run again for the seat next year nor compete for an open U.S. Senate seat in the state. 

The conservative commentator made the announcement Wednesday on X.

"President Trump's America First policies are already having positive effects for Americans," Dixon posted. "My focus is protecting and advancing those policies. ... I will continue traveling our great state to support Trump policies and the candidates authentically embracing them."

Dixon lost her 2022 gubernatorial bid to now Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. 

Michigan Democrats Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan have all announced their candidacy to replace term-limited Whitmer.  Michigan GOP Rep. John James is also running.

For GOP Rep. Mike Rogers is a top contender in the Republican primary for the Senate seat.
