LANSING, Mich. (Great Lakes News) – The Michigan Republican Party is suing to stop Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s reelection campaign from collecting excess donations.

The Michigan GOP contends that Whitmer cited an exception which lets her raise unlimited amounts because of attempts to recall her from office, and the group says that claim is unconstitutional.

There have been recall petitions circulating in the state, but none reached the signature requirements to force a recall election.

In addition, the lawsuit seeks to prohibit Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from allowing the “recall exemption” in the 2022 governor’s race.

Benson has been considering a conservative group’s challenge to $3.4 million in contributions to Whitmer that exceeded the $7,150 per-person limit.
