The man was a great police chief but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere in politics.  He just isn't raising any money.

James Craig suspends U.S. Senate campaign, considers Detroit mayoral bid

Republican James Craig, the former Detroit police chief, is suspending his campaign for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat and weighing running for mayor of Detroit, he told The Detroit News in a Tuesday interview.

Craig said while he viewed himself as the leader for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, he had made a "business decision" because of concerns about the cost of obtaining and verifying the required 15,000 valid petition signatures he needed by April 23 to make the August primary ballot.

Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig has been struggling to raise money for his U.S. Senate campaign.
"The reality is fundraising is a challenge right now," Craig told The News.

Craig's campaign reported having $27,999 available at the start of 2024. He said his campaign received an estimate that it would cost $350,000 to gather the necessary signatures and ensure they were valid.

The gop in MI is a damn joke.  They should be supporting quality candidates (he is surely one of them) early on.  
Adopt a cradle to election assistance.

We could have had him as governor if they had helped out.

I would rather see James Craig in Congress or something, I don't think he has much of chance beating Duggan as Mayor.
