HOWELL Michigan congressional candidate Melissa Gilbert (D, Howell) is calling upon Rep. Mike Bishop (R, Rochester) to end his Planned Parenthood investigation and “apologize to Michigan taxpayers.”

Gilbert said in a press release that Bishop is “wasting … time and money investigating Planned Parenthood based on heavily-edited videos.”

A Texas grand jury indicted David R. Deleiden and Sandra S. Merritt for tampering with government records, according to the New York Times.

The grand jurors said Planned Parenthood was not guilty of any wrongdoing.

According to Gilbert, Bishop has voted six times to defund Planned Parenthood.

Gilbert, an actress and former Screen Actors Guild president, announced her candidacy for Michigan’s 8th congressional district in August 2015. She is running against Bishop.
