One of Detroit’s longest serving police chiefs is reportedly considering a run to unseat Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

James Craig announced his plan to retire on June 1 after eight years on the job, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“I’m leaving in a good place, I love this city and I love this state,” Craig reportedly said.

Craig did not rule out a bid for governor, noting he is “deeply passionate” about public service.

“I have not made that decision. I am not ruling it out. There’s an appropriate time and I will get past this and then I will come out with a decision,” he said, according to Click On Detroit. “I am deeply passionate for public service.”
