GOP gubernatorial candidate who opposes $400 checks for Michiganders shows off $20,000 Rolex watch at gun show


Michigan gubernatorial candidate Kevin Rinke, who earlier said he would have vetoed legislation providing $400 refund checks to Michigan drivers, showed off a $20,000 Rolex Submariner watch at the Kent County Gun and Knife Show this week. .

He also inadvertently pointed an M1A style rifle at attendees, a picture shows.

Detroit-area businessman and multimillionaire Kevin Rinke launched his campaign in November with a mission to “blaze a bold new path of freedom and opportunity,” and with $10 million of his own money.

When asked about a bipartisan auto insurance reform bill, Rinke, whose family owned and operated auto dealerships throughout Michigan, said accident victims were “suffering because our governor agreed to a bill that was not complete.”

The auto insurance reform bill passed the Republican legislature and was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2019. At Whitmer’s request last December, it allowed the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association Fund to provide $3 billion in total refunds to Michigan motorists, $400 per insured vehicle, drawn from the fund’s $5 billion surplus.
