Michigan Republican dies hours after beating false elector charges. Case took a 'toll'
LANSING — Hours before his death, John Haggard celebrated two milestones Tuesday: His 58th wedding anniversary, and dismissal of felony charges he’d battled for two years as a defendant in Michigan’s “false electors” case.
The celebrations were short-lived.
Haggard, a longtime Michigan Republican Party activist from Charlevoix, died overnight after suffering a stroke related to lingering heart problems, according to his wife. He was 84.
In a Wednesday morning interview with Bridge Michigan, Phyllis Haggard said her husband was “a good father, good friend and a hard worker” who was “very generous with everything in his life.”
