JOHN JAMES: MICHIGAN ELECTIONS BELONG TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS

Shelby Township, MI — Republican gubernatorial frontrunner John James, a combat veteran, father of three, and Michigan job creator, today issued the following statement regarding the Americans for Citizen Voting Amendment:

“At least 16 non-citizens voted in Michigan’s November 2024 election, according to the Secretary of State’s own review – despite her prior claims of no evidence.

That’s why I proudly signed the petition to place the Citizens Only Voting Amendment on the ballot. If passed, it will constitutionally require only U.S. citizens to vote in Michigan elections, mandate voter ID at the polls, and require regular review of voter rolls to remove ineligible voters.

These common-sense integrity measures enjoy broad support across parties. The only opposition comes from those who benefit from the current system. Michigan’s elections belong to American citizens.”

In January, James signed in support of the ballot initiative, and spoke on behalf of the efforts in both Macomb and Oakland counties.
