EAST LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- Ron Weiser will again be chairman of the Michigan Republican Party after being accused of misusing party funds to keep a candidate out of a 2018 race.
In a landslide victory Weiser entered a third non-consecutive term at the helm of the Party. In a statement from MI GOP, Weiser says he’s ready to make Governor Gretchen Whitmer a one-term Governor.
His win follows accusations made by now former Chairwoman Laura Cox, who said Weiser paid $200,000 to Republican Stanley Grot to withdraw as a candidate for the race for Michigan’s Secretary of State in 2018. Weiser called the allegation baseless and a desperate attempt to smear his name.
Meshawn Maddock was elected as the party's co-chair.
