7 DAYS UNTIL DEBATE DAY.
Michigan, one week from today I hit the debate stage to lay out my plan to change the future of our state. Jocelyn Benson has been hiding behind overpriced TV ads and scripted talking points. Not anymore.
Tune in Tuesday October 6th starting at 7PM on WOOD TV8 — live.
THE TIME HAS COME TO SAVE OUR STATE. 🔥🇺🇸

I came home from Iraq and helped create hundreds of jobs in Detroit. I’ve seen what happens when we invest in people and give them opportunities.
That’s the experience I’ll bring to Lansing. Michigan’s comeback starts with jobs. 🇺🇸
Gary Jenkin retweeted
Jocelyn Benson has never run a business, never created a job, and can’t sue Michigan out of the mess her party created.
Her extreme ticket means higher taxes, crushing regulations, and an open door to socialism.
Michigan needs a combat veteran and job creator, not another failed Lansing politician. 🇺🇸

Minnesota steel company sets up shop in Iowa.
Chicago football team sets up shop in Indiana.
Red states unemployment rates are more than 25% less than blue states.
Voting for Dems to fix the economy is laughable.

Did you know that Michigan had the 3rd highest voter turnout in America in 2024?

Bought a new gun today at Huron Valley Guns. They asked for my ID before I could buy it — a simple requirement to exercise a constitutional right.
Makes sense, right?
But, when it comes to voting, asking for an ID is extreme? Make it make sense.

🚨 BREAKING — CONFIRMED: President Trump just used an ultra-rare pocket rescission to claw back nearly $1 BILLION in wasteful spending that does NOT benefit American citizens, and would've gone to foreigner or leftist causes
This is the SECOND time he's used his authority under the Impoundment Control Act. Last year's rescission was the first in 50 years
- $567M: HHS services for non-citizens, including $40M to Southwest Key Programs, which DOJ sued over alleged s*xual abuse of migrant children in its care
- $70M: Education Department grants for woke international programs, including dissertations on queer and trans community building in foreign countries
- $56M: HUD housing counseling money for DEI groups like UnidosUS and the National Urban League
- $28M: HHS research grants, including $500K for a transgender certification program with WPATH
- $25M: Education programs for migrant students, which funded an LGBT youth summit and "Therapy for Latinx" workshops
- $15M: Biden-era DHS program giving legal services, housing, and childcare to illegal aliens
- $15M: DOJ Community Relations Service, which produced transgender training videos for police
- $10M: DHS grants to open-borders NGOs giving legal aid to illegal aliens

AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS SHOULD GO TO AMERICANS. PERIOD. 🇺🇸
Keep DOGEing, Mr. President!

Michigan has everything we need to WIN, but for too long Democrat leadership has made it harder for families to get ahead and businesses to grow.
I’m honored to have the support of the @LansingChamber PAC and the men and women who are working every day to grow our economy and create opportunity.
It's time to turn our state around and make Michigan the best place in America to live, work and build a future.

Michigan ranks 40th in per capita income.
This is the legacy Jocelyn Benson has left in Lansing.
Michiganders deserve an economy that creates opportunity, raises incomes, and puts more money back in their pockets.
Gary Jenkin retweeted
Michigan families deserve SAFE streets and leaders who BACK law enforcement — not those who call to defund them.
As Governor, I will ALWAYS stand with the men and women who protect our communities and make PUBLIC SAFETY a priority. 🇺🇸

Extremism isn’t at our doorstep. It’s already inside the house.
From fighting extremism in Iraq to standing up for Michigan here at home, I’ve never backed down from the fight. 🇺🇸

Proud to receive the endorsement of the Michigan Realtors® PAC!
Making Michigan more affordable starts with building more housing, protecting private property rights, reducing unnecessary regulations, and making homeownership more accessible for Michigan families.
Together, we can restore the American Dream by making home ownership a reality for more Michiganders!

From DTE money to her family’s data center profits, Jocelyn Benson has serious questions to answer.
Michiganders deserve the truth.
Gary Jenkin retweeted
Jocelyn Benson said she never took DTE money. The record says otherwise.
My loyalty is to Michigan families, not special interests.
⚡ Lower rates. Reliable energy. Local control.

“Benson is a key part of the Democratic leadership team that has so badly failed Michigan over the past eight years. Nothing about her campaign suggests she recognizes the dismal status of the state, or has innovative plans for rapidly turning things around.
Instead, she's offering low-ball ideas that would do little to change Michigan's trajectory.”

🚨 BOOM! Democrats are STUNNED after the Detroit News just formally endorsed Mike Rogers (R) for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan over Abdul El Sayed (D)
They did NOT expect that 🔥
It looks like Abdul’s Islamist and socialist ways are catching up with him.
It’s getting so bad, rumor has it Abdul is asking Kamala Harris to campaign for him 😭
Momentum is with Rogers! ELECT THIS PATRIOT

The Babylon Bee 🐝 deserves an OSCAR for this depiction of who the LEFT is today!

It’s pathetic that @JocelynBenson won’t debate @JohnJamesMI in Detroit.
She’s obviously scared to talk about how her husband & fellow Lansing insiders delivered the Saline data center against the will of the people.
In August, @wxyzdetroit invited Jocelyn Benson and I to debate.
I responded right away, because I’m ready to talk about Detroit IN Detroit. Today, we learned @JocelynBenson isn’t.
Cowardice isn’t a governing philosophy.
