US EditionRonna McDaniel Joins Wealthy DeVos Family to Try to Make Michigan Red
- Ronna McDaniel, former chair of the Republican National Committee and a native of Michigan, will serve as CEO of Michigan Forward Network, a newly established right-leaning nonprofit backed by the DeVos family aiming to influence Michigan’s political landscape ahead of the 2026 elections.
- McDaniel’s move follows her February 2024 RNC resignation amid calls for change and a brief, controversial NBC News stint, while Michigan faces open governor and Senate races in 2026.
- The Michigan Forward Network will operate as a 501 dark money group focusing first on restoring Republican legislative majorities without coordinating with campaigns, with Sarah Anderson as chief of staff.
- McDaniel said DeVos backing would provide millions of dollars and emphasized the need to make Michigan a reliably red state, quoting, "We need to become a state like Ohio," referring to Michigan's southern neighbor.
- This initiative could reshape Michigan’s political landscape amid Democratic term limits and retirements, aiming to capitalize on recent Republican successes and prepare for a pivotal 2026 battleground.
