GOV. EPSTEIN?
As Michigan Republicans search for a candidate willing to take on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2022, one may have arisen. We’re hearing that oil heiress Lena Epstein of Bloomfield Township, who ran for the then-open 11th Congressional seat against Democrat Haley Stevens in 2018, and lost, is exploring a gubernatorial run. Epstein, runs Vesco Oil with her mother, Marjory Winkleman Epstein and sister, CEO Lilly Epstein Stotland. She recently lost her father, Donald. A domain site was procured by a proxy company in Scottsdale, Arizona – lenaepsteinforgovernor.com – indicating a testing of the waters. “If you’re going to lose, you might as well lose big,” said one top Republican honcho. “She has as much chance of winning as the Lions have of winning the Super Bowl next year.”
