Conservative TV Host Running for Governor
Several conservative media personalities, including Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host Eric Bolling, Lara Trump, and Candace Owens have been considering runs or been included in speculation for upcoming races.
None of them has announced any campaign or semblance of a political apparatus, but another conservative media personality – albeit of a lesser-known news network—has entered the political arena.
Tudor Dixon, a host of America’s Voice Live, is running for Governor in the state of Michigan as a Republican.
Dixon, 44, hosts the show alongside conservative talk radio host Steve Gruber, Jessica Rivera, and Amanda Head aka “The Hollywood Conservative” – who’s likely a familiar face to our readers.
The political newcomer, who’s been a staunch defender of former President Trump, is doubling down on her lack of experience as an elected official. In her first ad, Dixon says “I’m not a politician so I don’t have a catchy slogan to say or poll-tested promises to make.”
As someone who lost her grandmother during Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Covid-19 lockdowns, Dixon has been a fierce critic of Whitmer’s handling of the crisis.
Before becoming a conservative media host, Dixon worked in the steel industry. She’s also a mother of four and a cancer survivor. In her own words, Dixon has a “spine made of steel” and packs a “pretty mean school lunch.”
Dixon won’t have a clear path to the nomination. At the end of last month, Detroit Police Chief James Craig –who’s been a frequent Fox News guest— resigned his post and is expected to run for the GOP nomination.
However, if Dixon’s early campaign tells us anything she’s going to be a fighter and a competitor. This could be a race worth watching.
Here’s her first ad:
