    Enough is enough!  Benishek for Congress

    Benishek campaign

    Senator Allen, welcome to the race...and to the district!

    Senator Jason Allen today jumped into the race for Congress in the 1st District, shortly after moving into the 1st District. Benishek for Congress Field Director Dan Blough offered the following statement:

    "We'd like to welcome senator Allen to the race for Congress and to his new home in the 1st congressional district. As soon as he actually moves in and we find out his address we'll send over the welcome wagon and perhaps some cherry pie so he won't be so homesick for Traverse City."

    Dr. Dan Benishek is a surgeon from Iron River, Michigan and a Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan's 1st Congressional District. Please visit our website at Dan Benishek For Congress Benishek campaign

    if I am not mistaken.. but is expected to next week..

    It should be noted, a person could live in Detroit and be the congressman for this district.. (though it wouldn't make any sense.)  

    It should also be noted Roughly a third of those folks who would be represented in the 1st district are in his current district as State Senator.  So claims of "carpet bagging" (as in the other post) might be a little less than completely accurate.  You have seen here where I had hoped he would get some "street cred" again..  In fact I am doing some research of my own.  731 was a mistake.  But his record has been pretty conservative beyond that and a couple of other minor issues.  

    In November, conservatives will have one candidate who will likely become the next US Rep from the first congressional district.. Unless we dirty up with an excessive amount of hyperbole and unsubstantiated negative history.  Try to keep on issues and make the differences between real statements, real events, real effect, and we will wind up with the best man.. or woman.. in that seat.
