Former State Representative Shane Hernandez Selected as Tudor Dixon’s Running Mate

Former State Representative Shane Hernandez has been chosen to run alongside Tudor Dixon as lieutenant governor.

“I am honored to run as Tudor’s running mate to address the problems created by Gretchen Whitmer,” said Hernandez. “Her vision is the right one for Michigan and I believe we will defeat Whitmer and begin to repair the damage she’s caused to our families, students, and business owners.”

Hernandez, who chaired the House Appropriations Committee, served two terms in House before running for Congress, and currently works in the private sector.

He is a conservative Republican who believes in limited government, fiscal responsibility and individual liberties.

“Shane Hernandez as lieutenant governor will help to improve our schools, create safer communities, and improve our economy. Like me, Shane is concerned about the impact rising prices are having on our families,” said gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon. “Shane and I will put front-and-center the issues families care about: rising costs created by the Democrats’ inflation, dangerous communities exacerbated by Gretchen Whitmer’s siding with the ‘spirit’ of defund the police, and a perpetually weak economy that Gretchen Whitmer is simply incapable of doing anything about. I am confident delegates will embrace Shane and united, we will defeat Gretchen Whitmer in November.”
