Potential GOP Challenger Would Defeat Whitmer in Michigan Governor’s Race

PJM– Embattled Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) would be defeated by former Detroit Police Chief James E. Craig if the election were held today, according to a poll commissioned by the Michigan Republican Party.

Craig retired from the Detroit Police Department on June 1 and is expected to formally announce his bid.

The poll, which was conducted by Competitive Edge Research, shows that Craig, a Republican, would defeat Whitmer 45 to 38 percent. The poll was conducted May 26 through June 4, and has a 4 percent margin of error.

Deadline Detriot argues that since the poll was commissioned by the state Republican Party that it “should be taken with a grain of salt,” however,  “it does track with polling data released Monday by the Detroit Regional Chamber.” more

  1. James Craig was police chief in Cincinnati before he took the Detroit position. He did a decent job. I often wonder if he wishes he would have stayed in Cincy.

  2. He did do a good job in Detroit as far as no looting and burning businesses, of course there wasn’t a lot to start with. I don’t remember antifa getting a pass.

    Still it is Detroit…
    You have a 1 in 50.9 chance of being the victim of a violent crime in Detroit each year. That compares to a 1 in 228.6 chance statewide.
    The violent crime rate in Detroit is 1,965.3 per 100,000 people.
    That’s 435.95% higher than the national rate of 366.7 per 100,000 people.
    349.28% higher than the Michigan violent crime rate of 437.4 per 100,000 people.

    I sure a hell ain’t taking a holiday there.
