39. YES - he plans to run for Governor in 2018

Dec 2016

"Schuette, a Republican who is expected to run for governor in 2018, chaired the presidential campaign of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush before supporting Trump as the party nominee."
<snip>

Mark Brewer, a Southfield attorney representing the Stein campaign, denounced Schuette's action as "unprecedented interference by a partisan attorney general on a matter that should be handled routinely by the Board of Canvassers."
<snip>

Stein issued a news release Friday afternoon that said: “We won’t stand down as Donald Trump and his allies seek to frivolously obstruct the legal processes set up to ensure the accuracy, security and fairness of our elections." She said that "by putting party politics above country, Trump is needlessly delaying what should be a routine verification of the democratic process."
