RGA Statement on the Michigan Gubernatorial Primary

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association issued the following statement on the outcome of the Michigan gubernatorial primary election:

“Good governance is all about results and Governor Rick Snyder has absolutely delivered for Michigan,” said RGA Chairman Chris Christie. “Governor Snyder has kept his word and put big ideas to work to create more than 275,000 new private sector jobs and revive the economy, while building for the state a foundation more solid than it’s enjoyed in many years with four consecutive on-time balanced budgets. With Governor Snyder at the helm, Michigan will continue to move forward, and the Republican Governors Association proudly supports his re-election.”

“Mark Schauer’s record is clear: higher unemployment, wasteful spending, higher taxes, and support of the failed policies that led to Michigan’s lost decade,” said RGA Executive Director Phil Cox. “Voters have rejected Schauer’s out-of-touch agenda before and will do so again this November.”
