For far too long we have been sold a lie that we need to rely on the same people every cycle. We need to cultivate a sustainable donor network to create a year-round revenue model so that the MIGOP is not reliant on the boom-bust cycle of Presidential politics. We need to build a plan where the MIGOP can raise $2-3 million a year to spend exclusively on the party and our candidates.

The 2024 election showed us the path to victory for our Republican candidates in 2026 and we need to build on the momentum President Trump created.  We had unprecedented support in areas like Genesse, Kent and Wayne County and the only way to build on that is to invest in our newfound coalitions. We need to partner with our local and state officeholders to invest in the communities that President Trump showed are winnable for Republicans.

Our county parties are the backbone of the MI GOP. We need to create a structure at the MI GOP that invests in our county parties so they can organize and run winning campaigns. This relationship should not only be financial but in resources. 

When a county party needs help building out a business round table or local voter registration drive, they should be able to come to get the resources to get it done. We need to make sure there is a systemic way to teach our county parties how to get verified on Facebook.

We have to give our local candidates the ability to advertise on every medium no matter how much money they can spend. This is something our state party should be doing, not county chairs.

The reason for the turmoil of the state party over the past several years is people did not share information. There is nothing to hide in the state party.

All our spending is public record. I encourage everyone to look at our state and federal campaign finance reports.

If anyone has a question, they should just ask me or our executive director. We need to stop posting against each other in anonymous telegram and signal chats and start talking directly to each other.

We hear promises every 2 years at this convention, that they will fix fundraising, grow the party.  What will make me different. I have been on the frontlines of the America First movement since 2015. I know the small steps that we need to make to make the MI GOP a winning party again.

I am not going to promise to raise $30 million because that is only possible in the Presidential years when the nominee can help you raise money. 

My goal is to raise $2-3 million during my tenure as chair and make sure that half of that is something that the next chair can raise as well.

We need to expand GOP representation up and down the ballot. We have crucial municipal races this year and we have the entire government up for grabs next year. We need to start recruiting candidates now and we need to give all our candidates the resources they need to win today, not in October of 2026.

The MI GOP must always be the attack dog that rips the head off of Democrats every day.

My main job as state party chair is to push the Republican message but keep Democrats accountable.

We must learn our lessons from 2020 and never submit to tyranny, the woke agenda or the fake news media.
