LANSING, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Michigan Lt. Governor Brian Cally has announced he is running for governor.
Calley, who is the nation’s youngest lieutenant governor, has launched a website called “briancalley.com” that went live this morning with a video announcement that heralds Michigan’s economic comeback and state government’s flush rainy day fund.
Calley joins Attorney General Bill Schuette, Sen. Patrick Colbeck and Saginaw Dr. Jim Hines in seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The early morning announcement didn’t catch his political opponents off guard. The pro-Schuette “Better Jobs Stronger Families Super PAC” unveiled its “Calley Abandoned Trump” website 15 minutes after Calley’s announcement.
The Lt. Governor has been politically active this year leading the Clean Michigan Government drive to constitutionally lock the legislature into a session schedule that ends April 15 unless the governor calls an emergency session.
Calley also has been an outspoken advocate for children with special needs, most recently highlighting a report that lays out seven ways to reduce a determined $692 million special education funding gap (See “Calley Report Lists 7
Calley and his family worked the Thanksgiving Banquet for the Holland Rescue Mission last Wednesday in Holland.
