Republican candidate Tudor Dixon will be facing incumbent Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer in November's gubernatorial election. With 19.4% of precincts counted, the Associated Press projected her as the winner of the race at 9:43 p.m. Tuesday.

Dixon bested a field of candidates that included Kevin Rinke, Ralph Rebandt, Ryan Kelley, and Garrett Soldano. Former President Donald Trump endorsed Dixon earlier this week.

The win sets up a tough general election race against Whitmer, who has millions in her campaign fund. Dixon defeated four male candidates in a race between little-known Republicans.

Dixon is the first woman to win the Republican nomination for governor, according to Gongwer.

5. Never heard of her before.

Where do the GOP dig up these people? Is this going to be another Lisa McClain where they run a nobody but she's a woman and they want to appear to be "progressive" because they put up more women?
