Women Warriors on the Road
Representative John James
Michigan is on the front lines of America vs. Socialism.
Join Rep. John James, candidate for Governor of Michigan, and CPAC Women Warriors in Troy, Michigan to take on the issues that matter most to Michigan families: rising costs, parental rights, American jobs, the growing threat of Socialism at your front door, and the big-government policies holding YOUR community back.
Registration is free, with premium tickets available to support our mission.
CPAC proudly endorses Rep. John James for Governor of Michigan. A West Point graduate, combat veteran, businessman, and proven conservative, John James has fought for America First values in Congress, and he’s ready to fight for Michigan.
Michigan has a choice: freedom or socialism. America First or the failed policies of the left.
