Tudor Dixon is looking to get back in the political ring after an unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2022.
In a Tuesday statement on X, Dixon expressed her interest in both the 2026 Senate and gubernatorial races, saying both contests “present unique opportunities and different ways to benefit Michigan.”
“In the coming weeks, I will continue to reach out to those in our state who can help turn it around and discuss our future and what it can be,” the Republican said.
“I will decide soon where my experience and talents would most benefit the state we love so dearly,” she added.
Dixon, a first-time political candidate in 2022, pulled off an impressive primary win in a five-candidate field but suffered one of the worst losses in the particularly poor Republican showing in 2022, losing to incumbent Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) 44%-54%. Her loss was largely credited to the prominence of the issue of abortion in the campaign.
While mostly receding from the national spotlight, Dixon has stayed politically active through The Tudor Dixon Podcast and as a 2024 campaign surrogate for Trump.
BUTTIGIEG WON’T RUN FOR MICHIGAN SENATE SEAT
If she chooses to run for governor, she will be deprived of a rematch against Whitmer, as the governor will be term-limited out by 2026. The governor has been floated as a possible 2028 presidential candidate.
If Dixon chooses to run for Senate, she would likely be up against former Republican Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost last fall to now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) 48.6%-48.3%.
