Wait on Benishek. Jason Allen is a Republican State Senator who is term limited from his district. He is rumored to be entering the race (they have until May 11th). Allen would be a much more experienced and tougher opponent. Allen has routinely won re-election with 60-70% of the vote. His district is the south half of Stupaks’ district.
Thank you...I will watch and wait. I’m actually keeping a little list of contributions I want to make in races around the country. I’m not a ‘big money donor’ by any means, but I want to do my part to affect certain races just like FReepers did here in Massachusetts with Scott Brown.
No more RINOs!
No downstate carpetbaggers! No trolls!
Benishek is a product of the Upper Peninsula ... born in Iron River, works in Iron Mountain, lives in Crystal Falls.
Jason Allen probably doesn't know the way to the U.P., and once they vote for him, they'll never see him until the next election. The U.P. needs a Yooper rep!
Benishek is a surgeon, not a politician. Jason Allen, although he is a businessman, is also a professional politician. Given the choice, I choose the man with a life outside of politics.
Jason Allen doesn’t live in the district. Traverse City is in Dave Camp’s district. National Review got their districts mixed up when they mentioned Allen, McManus, and Stamas. Allen and McManus used to live in Stupak’s old district.
