Business executive, conservative commentator and 2022 Republican gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon says she’s seriously mulling another run for statewide office in 2026 in her home state of Michigan.

Dixon said that she “will decide soon where my experience and talents would most benefit the state we love so dearly.”
