Tudor Dixon, the conservative commentator who won the Republican nomination for Michigan governor in 2022, said Wednesday she will not be a candidate for either governor or the U.S. Senate in the 2026 election cycle. Dixon, who narrowly lost to Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer in 2022, had been viewed as a potential contender to challenge Whitmer’s successor or to seek the seat of retiring three-term Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow. Her decision leaves Michigan Republicans without an early high-profile frontrunner in either race as the party works to rebuild after a series of statewide losses.
