John James Voted Twice to Protect Trump's Tariffs. His Family's Auto Logistics Company Sells Help Coping With Them — and Paid His Family's Accounts Over $1 Million Last Year.

James Group, the Detroit auto-parts logistics company that James and a trust for his children hold stakes in, pitches supply chain risk services to automakers dealing with 'evolving trade policies.' His own disclosure shows his stake and a trust for his children took in $1 million to $5.1 million in dividends from it last year, while he voted to block and then reject ending the tariffs.

Michigan Caps What a Party Can Give a Candidate for Governor at $750,000. John James Took $1.8 Million in DeVos-Funded Ads From His Party.

A brand-new committee whose only reported donors are Amway heirs Dan and Doug DeVos, at $2 million between them, gave $2 million to the Michigan Republican Party, which gave John James $1.8 million in TV ads — more than twice what state law lets a party give a candidate for governor. The same day it was disclosed, James said 'we need to get money out of politics.'
