GREENVILLE, Mich. — Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, the first Republican in Congress to accuse President Donald Trump of impeachable conduct, is facing a primary challenge.

State Rep. Jim Lower (LOW'-ur) announced Monday he's running for the western Michigan seat. The announcement came two days after Amash sent a series of tweets faulting Trump and Attorney General William Barr over special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The 30-year-old Lower, of Greenville, says he made the announcement earlier than planned after Amash attacked Trump.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

At some point, AntiTrumpism separates you from the GOP / Tea Party.

Ask Jeff Flake about all that.

He and his brother Jeff own a business that sells hand tools. The company they buy their tools from is a holding company also owned by them which imports their tools from China.His father, Attallah, also made large contributions to his son’s campaign, but also was involved with bank loans that ended up being used for his campaign. (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/justin-amash-campaign-contributions_n_5551371) Big surprise that he’s against Trump’s tariffs with China.

Amash will have Ana Navarro as his press secretary, Mittens and his chief fund raiser and Piggy Noonan as his speech writer. Trump will campaign in Lower rallies and Amash will be finished.
