She's on the record. And conservative Kansas has just spoken.

Before running for governor, Dixon worked in the steel industry and in conservative media. She founded a media company that “provided pro-America, pro-Constitution morning news programs to grade school students,” [peddling propaganda, in other words] according to her campaign website. She took issue with Whitmer’s coronavirus containment policies, which she said spurred her to “take the fight to ‘Big Gretch’ directly” by running against her this year.
Whitmer is one of the leading Democratic voices for abortion rights. She sued to try to keep abortion legal in Michigan, in anticipation of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. A temporary injunction in a separate lawsuit has allowed the procedures to continue, though two Republican county prosecutors said they would consider pursuing criminal charges against doctors under a 1931 abortion ban, which contains no exceptions for rape or incest.

Dixon could be facing an uphill battle against Whitmer, whose bid for a second term in office is buoyed by a well-funded campaign and strong approval ratings. Despite President Joe Biden’s unpopularity in the state threatening to dampen Democratic enthusiasm across the board, recent polls showed Whitmer above water. Surveys conducted before the primary also showed Whitmer leading Dixon in a hypothetical matchup.
