US SENATE HOPEFUL
Fred Heurtebise from Luther (pop. 332 in northwest Michigan) has formerly announced as a Republican candidate for the Senate seat now held by Democrat Gary Peters, who has said he will not be running for another term next year. We could not find much background on the 30-year-old welder, but Heurtebise’s launch announcement sounds like it came directly out of the Trump playbook with stock phrasing about draining the swamp, Christianity, corrupt elites, America First and ‘NO MORE DEI!’ Marketing experts will always tell you about “first in the market” advantages, but that really only holds for retail products, not politicians. No word yet on other possibilities, like GOP Congressman Bill Huizenga, state Senator Jonathan Lindsey or former Congressman Mike Rogers.
