Justin Amash Enters Michigan Senate Race Republican

The former congressman, known for his independent stance, joins a competitive GOP primary in a critical race for Senate control.

Former U.S. Rep. Justin Amash announces his bid for the Michigan U.S. Senate seat as a Republican, joining a competitive GOP primary.
Amash, known for his independent-minded stance, left the GOP in 2019 but has returned to run in the Republican primary.
The Michigan Senate race is critical for both parties, with Democrats aiming to maintain control of the Senate and Republicans seeking to gain a seat.
Amash faces competition from former U.S. Reps. Mike Rogers and Peter Meijer, among others, in the GOP primary.
The Democratic frontrunner, U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, has dominated fundraising efforts, making the race highly anticipated.
