Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat elected in 2018, is term-limited, which has set up a competitive 2026 race to determine her successor in the battleground state. On the Republican side, Mr. James joins Aric Nesbitt, the minority leader in the State Senate. Two prominent Democrats in Ms. Whitmer\u2019s administration, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II and Jocelyn Benson, the secretary of state, have also announced runs for governor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pete Buttigieg, the former transportation secretary and 2020 Democratic candidate for president who is often mentioned as a likely 2028 presidential contender, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/us\/politics\/buttigieg-michigan-senate-2028-president.html\" title=\"\">said last month<\/a> that he would not enter the governor\u2019s race, nor would he run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Gary Peters, a Democrat who is retiring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The governor\u2019s race could be further complicated by the candidacy of Mayor Mike Duggan of Detroit, a longtime Democrat who announced last year that he would run as an independent, an effort to distance himself from the Democratic Party brand after Mr. Trump flipped the state back to the Republican column in the presidential race last November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Closely divided Michigan has seesawed between the two parties in recent years, with voters narrowly electing Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, to an open Senate seat while at the same time backing Mr. Trump for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. James, 43, has represented a competitive district in the northern Detroit suburbs since 2023, after previously losing two bids for the Senate. A businessman and former Army helicopter pilot who served in Iraq, he would be Michigan\u2019s first Black governor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his announcement post, Mr. James underscored his credentials and suggested he would help to reverse a decline in manufacturing jobs in Michigan. \u201cOur state has suffered long enough,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a statement, Sam Newton, a spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association, dismissed Mr. James as a right-wing politician who supports policies that would harm Michiganders. \u201cJohn James has spent his time in Congress putting his own extreme partisan politics first, and now he\u2019s running to bring the chaos and dysfunction of D.C. to Michigan,\u201d Mr. Newton said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/07\/us\/politics\/john-james-michigan-governor.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative John James, Republican of Michigan, announced on Monday that he would run for governor, jumping into an increasingly crowded,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[861,2749,897,5688,901,203,111],"class_list":["post-18067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-elections","tag-governors","tag-james","tag-john-1981","tag-michigan","tag-republican-party","tag-united-states-politics-and-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rep.
