KMR Gave a CCP-Linked Company Millions, Now They Are Suing Michigan for Millions

June 4, 2026

The Chinese Communist Party-backed battery company Gotion is demanding that Michigan taxpayers pay them nearly $24 million.

This all started when Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet voted to give $175 million of Michigan taxpayers’ cash to CCP-owned Gotion. McDonald Rivet even doubled down and recently voted against the No Gotion Policy.

“Out of touch Kristen McDonald Rivet has made it clear: she would rather support the Chinese Communist Party than hardworking Michiganders. McDonald Rivet can’t be trusted.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
