In one of the most politically consequential states, the Republican primary for governor is shaping up as a battle of whose personal baggage is the least disqualifying
WASHINGTON — A leading contender for the Republican nomination for governor in Michigan was sued in the 1990s, accused of using racial slurs in the workplace and sexually harassing his employees.
“Whitmer can attack every one of them,” said Bernie Porn, a Lansing-based pollster. “There are skeletons in the closet of most of the Republican candidates.” Rinke is alleged to have said that women “should not be allowed to work in public” because “they are ignorant and stupid” while referring to a female employee with a vulgar term, the lawsuit states.Court documents state that Rinke also referred to his own genitals as “golden” while threatening to sexually assault a used car manager if he didn’t “do a good job.”
Now the former president has an ally seeking the governor's office. Ryan Kelley, a Grand Rapids-area real estate broker, has made the lie that Trump won in 2020 a focus of his campaign. He was also recorded on video during the Jan. 6 insurrection, directing a mob of Trump supporters toward a set of stairs leading to the U.S. Capitol, which forced police to retreat, the FBI said. He pleaded not guilty during a court appearance Thursday.
Tudor Dixon, the co-host of a conservative online news show, is the only woman running for the Republican nomination. She has garnered establishment support, including an endorsement from the anti-abortion group Michigan Right to Life.
