The Detroit FBI office confirmed Kelley’s arrest and said his home was searched Thursday morning. “I can confirm that FBI agents from the Grand Rapids office carried out an arrest and search warrant at Mr. Kelley’s home in Allendale, MI. “At the moment I can not provide any information on the nature of the allegations against Mr. Kelley, although I expect further information to be forthcoming,” said Mara Snyder, a public relations officer at the FBI Detroit office. CNN approached Kelley’s campaign. In 2020, Kelley, a real estate broker, began to lead the mobilizations against lockdowns and Covid orders in Michigan, according to his website. He said he had led rallies against Covid restrictions in the state capital Lansing and Grand Rapids. The candidate governor added that he “kept a Civil War statue in his hometown of Allendale” during demonstrations in the summer of 2020. A world full of Republicans is fighting Democratic Gretchen Whitmer in one of the nation’s most cautious campaigns this fall. Kelley’s arrest adds another twist to an already chaotic Republican primary race. It comes after the Michigan Court of Appeals earlier this month rejected attempts by two Republican candidates for governor to run in the August primaries. The candidates, businessman Perry Johnson and financial adviser Michael Markey, filed lawsuits after the Michigan Board of Directors stalemate last month, upholding the state election bureau decision that five governors did not have enough valid signatures to sign. on the ballot. The court’s unanimous rulings marked a major setback for the affected candidates, including former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who have filed lawsuits in a bid to revive their campaigns. Kelley was not among the candidates affected by the signature issue. The issue of signatures was mixed in the race for governor of Michigan, just two months before the August primaries.
