I thought a congressman who is formerly related to Michael Dukakis was running against Hatch.
You’re thinking of Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who wasn’t ever “related” to Michael Dukakis, but his father was married to Kitty Dickson before she married Dukakis and took his name (Congressman Chaffetz is a product of his father’s second marriage). Chaffetz decided to run for reelection to the House.
