The move comes as a similar challenge happens within the Republican party.
A group tied to Dixon has challenged nominating petitions submitted by Craig.
They said he likely did not turn in enough valid signatures to qualify for the GOP primary.
The deadline to contest signatures is Tuesday.
Michigan voters will narrow down the field in the August 2 primary. The GOP winner will take on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November.
