Detroit Evening Report, June 3, 2022: Judge declines to put former Detroit police chief on Republican primary ballot for Michigan governor
Welcome to the Detroit Evening Report, a daily round-up of news that city residents need to know.
A judge has declined to put a former Detroit police chief on the Republican primary ballot for Michigan governor. James Craig is the third candidate to lose a court challenge after state election officials said campaign petitions were marred by fraudulent signatures. It’s a setback for Craig, who has high name recognition in southeast Michigan. A judge says she must abide by a Michigan appeals court decision released Wednesday that kept two other Republicans off the August 2 ballot because they didn’t submit enough valid petition signatures.
