John Edward James (born June 8, 1981) is an American businessman and politician who was the Republican nominee for United States Senator from Michigan in 2018.

Start of career

James attended Pennsylvania State University and West Point and served for eight years in the military including multiple tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom.[1][2]

In 2012, James joined James Group International, which he operates in partnership with his father John A. James. James Group is a global supply chain management service company, and James became its director of operations, and eventually became president of JGI and CEO of Renaissance Global Logistics.[3] He was named one of the Detroit Business Journal 30 in their 30s of 2012, and Michigan Chronicle 40 under 40 of 2014.[4] James serves as a board member of the Michigan Council for Future Mobility, Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council, National Veteran Business Development Council and Detroit Workforce Development Board.[5]

Political career

2018 U.S. Senate race

James entered the Republican primary for United States Senate election in Michigan, 2018 in September 2017[6] in an attempt to unseat three-term incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow as well as become Michigan's first African American senator. Despite musician and Michigan native Kid Rock publicly toying with the idea of running for the seat for months, the primary came down to James and Grosse Pointe businessman Sandy Pensler.[7] James was endorsed via Twitter by President Donald Trump on July 27, 2018, just 11 days before the GOP primary.[8]

James won the GOP nomination to face Stabenow, defeating Pensler, taking 55 percent of the vote compared to Pensler's 45 percent.[9]

On November 6, 2018, he was defeated by incumbent Debbie Stabenow by a margin of 6.54%, becoming the first Republican Senate candidate in Michigan to come within 10 percentage points since Spencer Abraham lost reelection in 2000. Due to his strong showing against Stabenow, party leaders are hopeful in his future and thus, James is considered the favorite to win the GOP nomination to take on Michigan's other incumbent Democratic Senator, one-term Sen. Gary Peters in 2020.[10][11]

Prospective UN ambassadorship

In late November 2018, Bloomberg News reported that President Trump was considering nominating James to become the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, to replace Ambassador Nikki Haley, who previously announced that she was planning on leaving the Trump administration by the end of 2018. James reportedly met at the White House with Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.[12] James was ultimately bypassed for the position, as Trump announced on December 7, 2018, that he would nominate Heather Nauert, the Spokesperson for the United States Department of State and a former TV reporter to succeed Haley.[13] Nauert was never formally nominated for the role by President Trump and announced on February 16, 2019, that she was removing her name from consideration.[14]

Following this, James was reported again to be a candidate for the ambassadorship, with news reports indicating that President Trump was "...very impressed by him ... and sees [James] as a rising star."[15] He again was passed over for the job with Trump announcing that he would nominate United States Ambassador to Canada Kelly Knight Craft for the post.[16][17]
