If you voted for the losing candidate for governor in 2022, you might want to start looking for those Tudor Dixon yard signs stuffed out there in the garage someplace.

As you are about to read for the first time, she could run again in 2026.

“You know what? Twenty-six is always in the back of my mind,” she reveals during a Zoom interview for TV-6 news in Lansing.

And, to add an interesting twist to that story, she can thank former Democratic Gov. Jim Blanchard for the facetime that resulted in this story.

You see, Blanchard went on statewide public TV and announced that he thought former President Donald Trump allegedly had “three personality disorders.”

Oh, my.

That most certainly warranted outreach to the Michigan Trump political apparatus for a response.

“Can you find somebody to respond to the governor’s observations?” was the ask.

And the answer soon came back that Tudor Dixon would do just that.

After getting caught up on how her four girls — including a set of twins — were getting along, the Zoom addressed the Blanchard charge, but then turned to her political future.

Would there be one?

She first offered that her focus was on 2024 and her efforts to help Trump return to the White House. Parenthetically, if she ran for governor and Trump was president, it surely would help her in a crowded GOP primary. After all, Trump embraced Dixon’s first run for office, and another endorsement from a sitting president is probably something she could use.

But when the question came up — “Do you still have the bug to be governor?” — her face broke out in a broad smile.

“Should I interpret that smile as a ‘yes’ to the question?”

“You’ll have to see. You’ll have to find out like everyone else,” she masterfully dodged the direct question.

But the back-and-forth then moved into second gear, and, while she definitely did not announce her decision, she most certainly sounded like a candidate-in-waiting.

“I do love the state of Michigan. I’m looking closely at what we need in the state of Michigan, and I’ve seen what’s happened the last two years, and it’s pretty devastating,” she said, concluding her not-so-subtle criticism of the woman who defeated her named Gretchen Whitmer.

Whitmer can’t run again, which is why everyone and his aunt and uncle who ever wanted to be the top banana in state government will likely get into this thing.

For example, former defeated Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Rinke still has the bug, and so does fellow millionaire and unsuccessful contender Perry Johnson. Both have access to a wad of their own money and would not be bashful about dipping into it to defeat Dixon.

But back to the Zoom, which is about to plow some fertile ground.

Knowing that she would never reveal her decision (probably because she has not made it), there was a hail Mary to nudge her in that direction.

“With your permission, could I report that you have not ruled it out?”

The hail Mary went into the air.

“Yes,” came the answer.

“That would be fair?”

“Yes, that would be fair,” she confirmed, thus flipping that scavenger hunt into a legit news story.

And just in case a certain reporter didn’t want to “find out like everyone else,” she was asked, “Will you call me when you decide?”

“You know I will. That’s fine with me.”

Oh, by the way, regarding the original purpose for chatting, Dixon does not believe Trump has three personality disorders.

No surprise there.
