Republican Gubernatorial Candidate John James Selects Jay DeBoyer as Running Mate
The pick could be announced Thursday, and party delegates will vote Aug. 22 as James must submit the name by Friday.
- On Thursday, Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. John James announced State Rep. Jay DeBoyer as his lieutenant governor pick, solidifying the GOP ticket for the November 3 general election.
- James, who secured the Republican nomination on August 4, selected DeBoyer to balance the ticket with extensive local government experience and tenure as chair of the House Oversight Committee.
- "I am choosing Jay DeBoyer as my running mate because he has run a business, served in local government, and overseen elections," James wrote on X, emphasizing DeBoyer's ability to work across party lines.
- DeBoyer, who has frequently challenged Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in committee hearings, joins James to face the Democratic nominee in November, though Benson has not yet announced her running mate.
- Convention delegates will formally vote on the ticket during the Michigan GOP meeting on August 22, while party leaders prepare to select a replacement for DeBoyer's seat if he is nominated.
