Michigan Lieutenant Governor-elect Brian Calley.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley will seek a promotion to governor next year. 

The Republican launched his long-expected candidacy Tuesday while vowing to continue an economic rebound that has resulted in the addition of more than a half million jobs in Michigan. 

Calley is one of four Republicans headed to a gubernatorial primary. He joins Attorney General Bill Schuette who was endorsed by Donald Trump in September.
