During last night’s gubernatorial debate, GOP nominee Tudor Dixon asserted that a difference between her and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was that Dixon was a small business owner, whose company had been “crushed during the pandemic by Whitmer’s Covid policies.”

Curious, I decided to look into Dixon’s “small business.” Here’s what I learned…

Dixon’s business, Cornerstone Foundry Supply (CFS), manufactures nothing–it’s a reseller of imported ceramic parts from the Czech Republic and Italy. It’s also really small–from its inception in 2015 until 2021, the company employed exactly 1 person; then in 2021 the payroll increased to 3 employees in total. Which also calls into question Dixon’s claim that Gov. Whitmer’s Covid policies “crushed” her business.

Now, I just happen to know a fair number of ceramic engineers, so when I learned that Tudor Dixon’s “small business got crushed during the pandemic,” I was intrigued.
