A2: Governor’s Race

Rick Snyder’s campaign is alleging that radio attack ads by groups with ties to state attorney general Mike Cox violate campaign finance laws, according to a Detroit News report. Snyder, of Ann Arbor, is seeking the Republican nomination for governor. From the report: “The Snyder campaign filed two complaints Tuesday with the Secretary of State and sent a letter to Attorney General Mike Cox, a fellow Republican candidate for governor, drawing links between the groups and former Cox staffers and campaign donors. The letter asks why the attorney general hasn’t responded to an earlier request to investigate and requests that Cox recuse himself if he’s not going to pursue the matter.” [Source]
