There’s a new conservative running for the US Senate in Michigan who hopes to challenge Democrat Debbie Stabenow for her seat, and his name is John James. And his new campaign ad is awesome.
Watch:
According to Fox News, before John can take on Stabenow, he has to get through two other Republican opponents in an August primary:
The veteran-turned businessman is hoping to challenge incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., in the fall, but first faces an Aug. 7 primary against fellow GOP hopefuls Sandy Pensler and Bob Carr.
They also point out that their own data suggests Michigan is ‘likely Democrat’:
Republicans want to put Michigan in play this cycle, because President Trump narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton there in 2016. Fox News’ Power Rankings still rate the race as “likely Democrat.”
This is probably the first you’ve heard of John James so here’s more on him from his own Youtube video page. Just based on this info here, he sounds like a conservative I’d definitely consider supporting:
