Michigan Republican governor nominee Tudor Dixon is running has proposed a sweeping pro-law enforcement bill to reverse what she calls standing Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s "violent crime wave."
Dixon's plan to reverse course and turn Michigan into a safe state will be no easy task. Michigan was quick to adopt an anti-law enforcement attitude and has seen a major uptick in crime over the last year.
Devastating Crime Wave
Rising crime in parts of Michigan have been a gut punch to residents. Citizens are reporting that the state feels less safe, especially in urban areas.
According to a recent survey, barely half of Grand Rapids residents report a general feeling of safety, down almost 10% from last year.
Detroit is among the most violent cities in the country, following the trend of spiking violent crime across the country in the wake of anti-law enforcement sentiment and COVID lockdowns.
The violent crime rate in Pontiac is almost 4 times the national average, while Mount Morris and Ypsilanti boast double the national average.
Muskegon Heights Michigan, despite a relatively small population of just over 10,000, is arguably the most dangerous city in the United States with a homicide rate of over 10 times the national average.
Leftist policies to blame
But why is Michigan struggling so badly with violent crime? To us, the answer is clear: a rapid decline of support for Law Enforcement over the last few years. In fact, one could argue there has been a militant, top down undermining of law and order.
Multiple Michigan cities have tried to force Police Departments to hire social workers instead of more Officers, despite being massively understaffed.
City Councils, Mayors, and even State leadership has threatened to defund law enforcement agencies while supporting the anti-cop movement.
It comes as no surprise that these so called "leaders" all associate with the same ideology: progressive leftism.
It's important to note that this is not the same as being a Democrat, though it is becoming very difficult to differentiate these days.
Progressive leftism seeks to undermine the constitution, is economically insolvent, and is largely based on moral relativism. But, that is an article for another day.
The point must be made that the Michigan crime wave is largely due to leftist policies and a general breakdown of law and order.
A spark of hope
While innocent blood is indeed being spilled in Michigan, there is a spark of hope.
If radical leftist policies made this mess, it's just possible that reasonable conservative leadership can clean it up.
Of course, this will be no easy task and not for the faint of heart. This is where Republican Governor candidate Tudor Dixon comes in.
Despite leftist claims that the Republican party is anti-woman, this powerhouse of a gubernatorial candidate just so happens to be female. More importantly? She is qualified for the job of making Michigan citizens feel safe once again.
Calling public safety a "top issue" in Michigan, Republican candidate for governor Tudor Dixon detailed a $1 billion proposal Tuesday to recruit, retain and train police officers and other emergency personnel.
Detroit News
Of course, we've all heard many politicians promise to make things better only to see disappointing results. This is even true of recent Republican politicians who get into office and fail to get the job done.
It's time for Republican politicians to put words into action. Here's hoping that Dixon wins the race and actually follows through.
What do you think, can Dixon win against Whitmer? Does she have what it takes to turn things around? Is she the real deal, or another politician presenting empty promises?
Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Voted for her in the primary and will again in November.
THE ONLY FAST HOPE OF TURNING AMERICA AROUND, AND HALTING THIS "TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE," AGAINST AMERICA/ AMERICANS, IS FOR TRUMP, TO TAKE THE NOMINATION AS, "SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE", AND RUN WITH IT FOR ALL IT'S WORTH, {AND THAT WOULD BE PLENTY} . WHAT A GREAT WAY FOR HIM TO START OFF HIS "REVENGE TOUR"! CLEAN HOUSE, AND GET READY FOR HIS RIGHTFUL 2ND TERM, AS PRESIDENT #47. ALTHOUGH, I WISH WE COULD GET A RETACTION,OF THE 2020 ELECTIONS, AND GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP, AS THE RIGHTFUL WINNER, HIS JUST DUE AS #45. HOPEFULLY ALL OF THE DEMORATS, WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THEIR "TREASOOUS ACTIONS", AGAINST THE USA, AND JAILED ACCORDINGLY. DON'T LET THE ONES WHO GOT AWAY....."GET AWAY". SUCH AS OBAMA / BIDEN / PELOSI / HILLARY / HOLDER / LYNCH / BRENNAN / LERNER SEELOIUS , ANDMANY OTHERS. ALSO, WHEN SOMEONE IS FIRED FROM THE GOVERNMENT, FOR TREASONOUS ACTIONS F, THEY THEN "F O R F E I T" THEIR PENSIONS, AND ANY OTHER INCENTIVES.

Surely even the most dihard person will recognize the problem and want to correct it.
Ya'll support this candidate all the way to Safety.

IT IS HIGH TIME WE PUT A END TO THE DEMOCRATS. WE NEED LAW AND ORDER AS MUCH AS FRESH AIR TO BREATH. BIDEN RUINED THIS NATION. WE NEED TO VOTE OUT EVERY FASCIST DEMOCRAT.IF WE LOVE OUR NATION. YES WE NEED BACK OUR POLICE FORCE, WE NEED CRIMINALS BEHIND BARS, WE NEED TO GET RID OF HARRIS, WHO IS NOT FOR OUR COUNTRY OR LAW AND ORDER.

Brian deace, on camera, made it very clear. "THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER" CORRECTION! DICTATING COMMIE take over. China is buying up land on both sides of our border.The 1% outlaw biker gangs are now fighting over who get to work with the cartels to help with drug & human trafficking! LET THAT SINK IN!
FJB and the Demoncraps!
NEWS! FLASH! She is the REAL DEAL! I have followed her. She is the Kari Lake of Michigan. DIM-WIT-MER is a radical piece of GARBAGE! And a branch of CHICCOM BRANDON the TRAITOR!
tudor is better looking, more charismatic and better on the issues. however, half-whitmire will get almost 100% of the deceased vote and 90% of the vote delivered by mule and suitcase. i wonder does anyone have a plan to counter these problems.
They got what they voted for, doubt they have enough common sense to see its not working!!
I think that Americans need to face the fact that's what happening to our country is not the result of poor choices or mismanagement. What's happening is part of a well-executed plan to destroy our Republic! If we would all back up and take a hard look at what's been happening to us since Biden and the corrupt Democrats took over control of our government, it's obvious that this administration is working to force Americans to accept Communist Control and the ONE WORLD ORDER!
get rid of the leaders of your community mayor a politicians in your state
I applaud the efforts of Tudor Dixon to recover LAW AND ORDER in Michigan but, she's facing an uphill battle against a vicious army of criminals and traitors supported by our foreign enemies! Freedom in America is lost and now "it's a put up or shut up" time. We either fight this corrupt and treasonous government or, eventually we will all suffer the consequences of cowardness and complacency! I can't believe how passive Americans have been while this illegitimate corrupt administration is taking away our rights! It's time to fight!
I wish her much success as our country could use more folks with spines
