MI-GOV: Michigan Republicans create a front group to support the Green candidate

The stench of desperation has overcome the Michigan Republican Party. As I reported yesterday, they sent mailers to the districts of three of their House candidates claiming they are endorsed by the Police Officers Association of Michigan (POAM). They are not and, in fact, in two of those races, the POAM actually endorsed the Democratic candidate.

Today I have evidence that the Republicans are mailing flyers in support of a Green Party candidate running for governor. This tweet from Ace Anbender in Ypsilanti was the first I saw of it.

It says it’s paid for by “Michigan People for Progress”. So who is “Michigan People for Progress”? Is it affiliated in some way with Senator Sanders or any of the groups supporting him? Maybe related somehow to the progressive watchdog group Progress Michigan?

Nope.

It’s the Michigan Republican Party.
