West Michigan Republican powerhouse Dick DeVos is beginning to make fundraising calls in support of gubernatorial candidate John James, MIRS has learned, a development that will help the Congressman push back with paid media down the line against primary opponent Perry Johnson and his bottomless pockets.

If elected governor, U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Township) said he would support expanding the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to records in the governor's office and publicly disclose all of his personal finances in the same manner he's required to do so in Congress.

The gubernatorial campaign of U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Township) released a 63-second video on Thursday that makes the case that their candidate is President Donald Trump's best chance to see Republicans carry Michigan for its congressional candidates. Otherwise, if James is not successful, Republicans are at risk of losing the U.S. House and Trump will be impeached.
