Peter Meijer, Republican Congressman Who Backed Trump's Impeachment, Runs for Michigan Senate
Former Republican congressman Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Donald Trump, has launched his campaign for a Michigan Senate seat. Meijer's impeachment vote could attract support from moderate or independent voters, and his family's wealth could provide self-funding opportunities. He joins a crowded GOP primary field with two major candidates already in the race, and the incumbent Democratic senator is retiring. Meijer's legislative priorities include reforming war powers and veterans issues.
