【福克斯新闻独家首发】 前共和党州长候选人都铎·迪克森重返密歇根政坛，此次她将作为一个新的数百万美元政治行动委员会的公开面孔，助力这个美国最重要的摇摆州之一的共和党人。
“密歇根将成为2026年和2028年选举的关键摇摆州之一，”迪克森在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时宣布了她在联合筹款委员会的角色。该委员会获得数百万美元支持，将深度参与密歇根州州长、总检察长、州务卿以及众议院和参议院关键席位的公开竞选。
迪克森曾在2022年作为共和党提名候选人竞选密歇根州长，作为特朗普支持的保守派挑战者，在全国关注度最高的州长竞选之一中挑战民主党州长格蕾琴·惠特默。败选后，迪克森一直以保守派评论员、播客主持人以及共和党“美国优先”阵营的知名声音活跃在政坛。
“我们不仅要让密歇根保持紫色州地位，还要让它朝着红色方向发展，”她继续说道。
为实现这一目标，迪克森解释说，她在密歇根竞选州长的经历以及对该州其他选举的观察让她发现了共和党可以改进的地方，尤其是外部支出滞后、选民教育工作薄弱，以及在非总统选举中难以动员共和党选民投票。

“我曾竞选公职，我认为这是这件事的关键所在：亲身经历过竞选的人都知道，很多候选人当选失败后会想，‘好吧，这次没成功，我要退出了，’”迪克森说。“作为一名有商业背景的生意人，过去几年我一直在思考，‘作为共和党一方，我们哪里做错了？我们该如何继续为我们的州奋斗？’”
迪克森以密歇根州参议院最近的一次共和党败选为例，说明共和党不能自满。
“我们刚刚以19.5个百分点的差距输掉了一场州参议院特别选举，”迪克森说。“这个席位在2022年曾以6.8个百分点的优势被民主党拿下。所以想想我们居然以接近20个百分点的差距落败，密歇根州承受不起这样的结果。我们不想让州变成蓝色州。所以我们要确保不仅让密歇根保持紫色州地位，还要让它朝着红色方向发展。”

联合筹款委员会将自身定位为对迪克森所说的民主党优势的回应，这种优势既来自传统的政党组织，也来自资金充裕的外部团体。
“我们希望能够为我们的候选人提供助力，让他们获得相应的资金和广告支持，能够用正确的信息直接针对目标人群，让他们真正了解民主党候选人是什么样的，”迪克森解释道。
迪克森还认为，共和党未能与该州许多地区的选民有效沟通，尤其是在底特律以外的地区。
“底特律拥有庞大的选民基础，显然我们对那里的整体情况有一些疑问，但底特律的选民基础确实会为民主党投票，”迪克森说。“民主党依赖这个特定的选民群体，但这个群体并不反映上半岛的情况，当然也不反映密歇根北部或该州西部民众的价值观。”

她表示，密歇根州农村地区的许多保守派选民感到被忽视，与州首府兰辛脱节，并以拟议中的戈申电池工厂引发的反弹为例，说明当地社区与州领导层之间的紧张关系。
“密歇根州民众希望自己的声音被听到，”迪克森说。“我们只需要确保他们了解 ballot 上有哪些议题以及相关的参选人员。”
动员那些有选举投票记录但参与频率较低的合格选民，也就是所谓的低投票倾向选民，一直是共和党近年来选举的核心策略。迪克森表示，这将是她的团队未来的主要工作重点。
“那些很多人希望共和党基础选民中不要出现的群体，正是我的支持者，”迪克森说。“我爱他们。我要确保他们的声音继续被听到。”
“我们不仅要联系那些每次都会出来投票的共和党选民，还要联系那些可能曾为唐纳德·特朗普投票、但不一定会在中期选举中投票的‘让美国再次伟大’共和党选民，”她补充道。“我要确保他们知道自己被重视，他们的声音很重要。我们希望确保他们这次能够前往投票站。”

FIRST ON FOX:Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon is stepping back into Michigan politics, this time as the public face of a new multi-million dollar PAC aimed at boosting Republicans in one of the nation’s most critical swing states.
“Michigan is going to be one of the critical battleground states for ‘26 and ‘28,” Dixon told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview announcing her role with United We Fund, a political action committee backed by millions of dollars that will be heavily involved in Michigan’s open races for governor, attorney general, secretary of state and key seats in the House and Senate.
Dixon was the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan in 2022, emerging as a Trump-backed conservative challenger to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in one of the country’s highest-profile gubernatorial races. Since her defeat, Dixon has remained active as a conservative commentator, podcast host, and prominent voice in the GOP’s “America First” wing.
“We want to make sure that we not only keep it purple, but have it trending red,” she continued.
In order to do that, Dixon explained that her experience running for governor in Michigan and her monitoring of other races in the state have shown her gaps where the Republican Party can improve, particularly delayed outside spending, weak voter education efforts and struggles turning out GOP voters in non-presidential elections.

“When I ran for office, and I think that’s kind of a critical piece of this, is having lived it yourself, I know a lot of candidates go through this and they go, ‘Okay, that didn’t work out. I’m going to walk away,’” Dixon said. “As a business person with a business background, I’ve spent the last several years saying, ‘Okay, what did we do wrong as Republicans on our side? And how do we make sure we keep fighting for our state?’”
Dixon pointed to a recent Republican loss in a Michigan state Senate special election as evidence that the party cannot afford complacency.
“We just lost a special election for the state Senate by 19 and a half points,” Dixon said. “That’s a seat that was won by the Democrats in 2022 by 6.8 points. So to think that we went down to almost a 20-point loss, we can’t afford that in the state of Michigan. We don’t want the state to turn blue. So we’re going to make sure that we not only keep it purple, but have it trending red.”

United We Fund is positioning itself as an answer to what Dixon described as a Democratic advantage fueled by both traditional party organizations and well-funded outside groups.
“We wanted to be able to give our candidates a leg up on that so that they would have that funding and those advertisements behind them and be able target people directly with the right messages so that they actually know who the Democrats are,” Dixon explained.
Dixon also argued Republicans have failed to effectively communicate with voters in many parts of the state, particularly outside of Detroit.
“Detroit has a massive voting base and obviously, we have some questions about that whole situation there, but the Detroit voting base comes out for Democrats,” Dixon said. “They rely on that specific base, but that base does not reflect what you see in the Upper Peninsula. It certainly doesn’t reflect the values of the people that you see in northern Michigan or on the west side of the state.”

She said many conservative voters in rural Michigan feel overlooked and disconnected from Lansing, citing backlash over the proposed Goshen battery plant as an example of tensions between local communities and state leadership.
“The people of Michigan want their voices to be heard,” Dixon said. “We just have to make sure they know what’s on the ballot and what’s out there.”
Turning out eligible voters who have a history of infrequent participation in elections, known as low-propensity voters, has been the name of the game for Republicans in recent cycles. Dixon says that will be a major focus of her group in the future.
“Those voters who I would say a lot of people wish that there would be some of this Republican base that would go away, those are my people,” Dixon said. “I love them. I want to make sure that they continue to have their voice heard.”
“We want to make sure that not only are we reaching out to that Republican that comes out every time, but also to those MAGA Republicans who maybe came out for Donald Trump and they don’t necessarily come out in the midterms,” she added. “I want to make sure they know that they’re loved and their voice is important. And we want to be sure that they get to the polls this time.”
