GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- The Tudor Dixon for Governor campaign announced today Team Tudor raised over $415,000 in its effort to defeat Gretchen Whitmer.
For the third quarter, the Dixon campaign raised $215,000, while a Super PAC independently supporting Tudor's candidacy, Michigan Strong, received seed funding of $200,000.
"I am grateful so many have contributed to our effort to deliver a Michigan comeback and replace Gretchen Whitmer," Dixon said. "As we crisscross the state, we are met with tremendous enthusiasm for a campaign built on solid policy proposals, not empty rhetoric. We are building the infrastructure necessary to win the primary and defeat Gretchen Whitmer. I am thrilled with the progress we have made since the summer."
Team Tudor continues to build out its finance infrastructure. Top Michigan fundraiser Anne Minard has just joined the team and will begin rapidly expanding Dixon's finance operation in Southeast Michigan.
