, who mounted a campaign shortly after Democratic Sen.For months, Republicans had no strong candidate in the race. Now they are facing the prospect of a crowded field. Former Rep. Peter Meijer, who lost a primary in 2022 after voting to impeach Donald Trump, is exploring a run. Business executive Sandy Pensler is also mulling a bid. The NRSC did get good news last week, however, when another prospective candidate, John Tuttle,Craig has already lined up a campaign team.
Republicans have not won a Senate race in Michigan since 1994. And Democrats have been ascendant in the state, controlling both chambers of the Legislature and the governor’s mansion.

In 2022, he ran for governor against Democrat Gretchen Whitmer but lost out on a spot on the ballot after a botched signature-gathering effort.
