Candice Miller Says She Won’t Run For Governor

Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller said this morning she will not run for governor in 2022.

Ms. Miller’s name often comes up as a potential Republican gubernatorial candidate each cycle. Speculation had been increasing as a long-time aide said the former secretary of state and U.S. House member was thinking about a run last month.

This morning, Ms. Miller took to Facebook to make her intentions clear.

“There have been some recent media reports about me possibly being a candidate for governor in 2022. I will not be a candidate for governor in 2022,” Ms. Miller wrote. “I appreciate the support of the people of Macomb County in my recent reelection and I am committed to fulfilling my duties here. Improving water quality in our magnificent Great Lakes, upgrading and maintaining our infrastructure and being a positive component of economic prosperity for Macomb County – these remain my focus.”
