Creswell was nominated on May 13 at the 2006 Libertarian Party of Michigan convention in Chelsea, Michigan. His campaign raised over $16,000 in donations. which was dwarfed by the Granholm and Devos campaigns, but in excess of that raised by Douglas Campbell, or that raised by Bhagwan Dashairya both of whom qualified for a reporting waivers (only available to campaigns with budgets under $1,000). The Creswell campaign spent over $10,000 on radio advertising. The largest investment was made in advertisements on Detroit AM Radio stations WJR and WXYT. These commercials specifically targeted Devos and Granholm by referring to them as candidates of “the two old parties,” and berating them for supporting state-supported preferences based on race and sex.
