MIRS Monday, July 30, 2018

What does it mean to be a "Trump Republican?" Meshawn Maddock, a co-founder of the "Trump Republicans," shares her definition during today's podcast. Maddock also calls out by name one Republican state Senate candidate as not being a "Trump Republican." She lists several legislative candidates as being endorsed by the group. Why are they not endorsing Bill Schuette for governor as the President has done? 

Also Craig Mauger of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network goes over Friday's filing with the MIRS team. Gretchen Whitmer is "fundraising like a Republican," state Senate candidate Holly Hughes' $1 million in contributions are deceiving and various highlights from the legislative reports are discussed.

Finally, MIRS mourns the coming departure of one of it's most devoted employees.
