Tudor Dixon: Politicians Shouldn't Be Able To Personally Profit From The Office And Abandon Their State By Doing It
Former Michigan GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon joins Fox Across America With guest host Todd Piro to share her thoughts on retiring actor Michael Douglas saying that people now enter politics in the U.S. in order to make money. 'I think he thinks that this is a one-sided issue. Let's talk about Andrew Cuomo, who wrote a book about the pandemic and then resigns and gets this big advance and spends all this money, but he shouldn't have actually gotten the money. It turns out what he did in the pandemic was not what he said he was doing. But come to find out that during the pandemic, he has many staff members writing this book, so he's distracted from public service. To me, that is a critical issue. Gretchen Whitmer, the same thing. She writes a book because I believe she sees the writing on the wall that Joe Biden is not gonna be the nominee. So quick, she gets this like, I mean, it was a very slim book that came out, maybe she announced in February, it comes out in July right before the election. But then she leaves the state of Michigan for months for a nationwide book tour. And I think that's wrong. I do not think politicians should be allowed to personally profit and leave the state by doing it. I mean the fact that she can write a memoir and then travel around the country while the state, it would be one thing if the state of Michigan were in great shape, we're 40th in infrastructure, 40th an education, our manufacturing is dying, and the governor's AWOL because she's making megabucks off of a book that she's getting a huge advance on. And I will say locally, we have the same issue in Michigan. So when I say I agree with him, I'll say even a Republican who is running for office in the state of Michigan had a leadership position in state government, left and became a lobbyist, which means you are using your connections in government to make money for companies who are paying you to do it. And then, now he is still a lobbyists, goes back and decides he's going to run for an even higher office. So you go from office to making money lobbying off of your relationships to back to office and having the people that you lobbied for make money off of government. I think that your priorities are to make money and you shouldn't be running for office.' Listen to the podcast to hear the full discussion!

Right-wing commentator eyeing run for Senate or governor in Michigan
Right-wing commentator Tudor Dixon has said she is considering running for office in Michigan in 2026 but has yet to decide whether to opt for the battleground state's open Senate seat or governor's office. Dixon, 47, was previously the Republican nominee for governor of the Great Lakes State in 2022 but lost to Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer. The pundit made her announcement in a statement posted to social media on Tuesday in which she attacked Governor Whitmer by saying she had spent six years 'driving our state into the bottom 10 nationally' and presiding over a 'lost decade.' 'It's time to bring Michigan back and lead once again,' she added, going on to stress the importance of job growth, lowering the cost of living, reviving the state's manufacturing sectors, giving taxpayers value for money and increasing government transparency, without going into specific policy details. Dixon also praised President Donald Trump, saying he is 'leading the way nationally' by 'delivering on his promises to secure the border, bring manufacturing jobs home and boost energy independence.' Originally from Naperville, Illinois, Dixon started out as a sales manager in her father's company Michigan Steel Inc, before moving into media after co-founding a conservative news site for students. She began her career in broadcast in 2018 when she was hired by Real America's Voice to anchor its show America's Voice Live on weekday afternoons. Following her unsuccessful gubernatorial run, she pivoted to podcasting in 2023 and has hosted The Tudor Dixon Podcast ever since. She has also frequently guested on Fox News and Fox Business as a contributor. Dixon had Trump's endorsement during her last campaign, as well as that of other MAGA personalities including Tulsi Gabbard, Elise Stefanik, Richard Grenell and the DeVos family, but nevertheless lost by 10 points to Whitmer, who is now term-limited out of serving again, granting the broadcaster a potential second chance. She will face competition, however, with Michigan's Republican Senate minority leader, Aric Nesbitt, having also declared his intention to run. Democrats including Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Lieutenant-Governor Garlin Gilchrist and Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson have also already announced, as has Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who will campaign as an independent. The Senate race will be a battle to succeed the retiring Democrat Gary Peters. Dixon would have to challenge the former Republican representative Mike Rogers for their party's nomination, with Rogers already moving quickly to hire one of Trump's presidential campaign managers, Chris LaCivita, as an adviser. Rogers ran for the Senate last year but was narrowly beaten by Democrat Elissa Slotkin. A mother of four, an evangelical Christian and a breast cancer survivor, Tudor Dixon is also, more surprisingly, an amateur actress who has appeared in a number of low-budget horror films. Among the entries on her brief IMDB page are a bit part as the victim of cannibal zombies in the film Buddy BeBop vs the Living Dead (2009) and a recurring role as a sword-wielding British vampire in the TV show Transitions: The Series (2010-11).
