Dr. Daniel Benishek is running a positive campaign for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s First District. He gained national attention within hours of Bart Stupak’s press conference on March 21st, 2009, when he announced he would vote for the health care bill. It was widely accepted that Stupak had betrayed his conservative district with his decision to vote for the Health Care Bill. Radio talk-show host Mark Levin had Dan on his radio program the next day, supporting him over Stupak. A flurry of television and radio appearances followed, including Sean Hannity, and Neil Cavuto. With help from the grass roots and the Tea Party Express, Stupak made a decision not to run for re-election. In a 6-way race for the primary, Benishek won the district with just 15 votes ahead of long-time State Senator for part of the district, Jason Allen. Allen made a decision not to ask for a recount, and Benishek would move on to face a Democrat challenger, Gary McDowell and three other candidates. Below is a list of important names and endorsements of Daniel Benishek M.D.

Dan Benishek is on his "More Jobs Now" Tour. In the past few days he has been in Munising, Charlevoix, Bellaire, Gaylord, Grayling, Alpena, Tawas, West Branch, Au Gres, Pinconning, Gladwin, Petoskey, and St. Ignace.

Today he will be in Newberry, Manistique, Escanaba, and then he will be back home in Iron Mountain.

Michigan's First District is very large,including the entire Upper Peninsula and one third of the Lower Peninsula. The picture here shows that entire district in blue because of Stupak. When Benishek is elected, Michigan will indeed be a Red State.
