I live in West Michigan and have seen her and her policies up close. She runs a balanced budget and emphasized school spending and roads/infrastructure along with bringing MFG back.
Where she got herself in trouble is when she tried to take her policies and moral leanings from the D.C. crowd and had extended lockdowns. Here were her extreme policies during Covid: A yard person asked me if his family could mow our yard, and I told him that I wish I could but given my role, I could not been seen violated lock-downs. Instead, I gave him $40 and put in a call to the governors office to remove this restriction when clearly no one was catching covid on a riding mower outside. She moderated, moved hard to the center, stayed quiet (read: discipline where she no longer lauded Fauci, removed the Fauci doll from her office backdrop, etc.) and on the whole she has been, good.
If you read her background, she is exactly the type of suburban college educated woman who voted D in the 2020 election.

Father was the CEO of BCBS of Michigan (largest insurer of the state) and she grew up in conservative Grand Rapids. Outside of Abortion laws, she should be voting R and be, at worst, a Peter Meijer republican who votes with Trump 70 to 90%+ of the time.
She is actually warm and likeable. She and Tudor are both attractive individuals. Trump is no Jeb Bush, robot, at all. He can be very warm and approachable. Again (for the 10,000+ time) he just gets into moments where he says unnecessary things.
Long way to say, she could beat Tudor Dixon by 50,000 votes even under the most appropriate (read: Georgia, etc.) voting laws and ballot drop box monitoring.
