Former GOP Congressman Justin Amash Considers Michigan Senate Run

Amash Launches Exploratory Committee Amid Crowded Republican Primary

Former Republican Congressman Justin Amash, who left the party in 2019 and became an independent, is considering running for Senate in Michigan.
Amash has launched an exploratory committee as he considers a run for the Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D).
The race for the Republican nomination already features former Rep. Mike Rogers, former Rep. Peter Meijer and former Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
Amash served in his House seat representing Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District for 10 years before choosing not to run for reelection in 2020.
A recent statewide poll found the race to be a “toss-up” with a sizable number of independent voters undecided.
