I miss being able to talk some about important political things like I did in my Madam Secretary blog or other blogs. You might have gotten the point that I cared about some elections than I did others and you’d be right. I am constantly adding more and more that I care about. Thanks to the Midwestern governor alliance, I am adding Ohio, Minnesota, and Michigan to a previously unnamed and unranked priority two of elections that I care about. I doubt that I can get all of what I need to in for each election cycle unless or until I do posts on episodes of this show again at some point. But you know from the title of this post what I’m covering and I don’t think that there is much to explain about why I’m covering this so I might as well get this done.
Let’s start with the incumbent Democrat in the race who is a man named Gary Peters. He is in a bit of danger as Michigan went to Trump in 2016, a fact that applies to only one Democrat up for reelection this cycle in the senate and he is the only one who was elected six years ago since Doug Jones wasn’t elected until 2017 and only because a seat was vacated during that time. It did not seem too likely last I checked that he would lose, but it is possible.
The Republican challenger is John James. He is a black Republican so that could prove to be a bit of an advantage, but maybe not much of one. He is against the ACA, which becomes more and more of a ridiculous thing to want to get rid of during a terrible pandemic that has been only been doing better in states like this one due to resources needed by things that it provides.
The endorsement in the race couldn’t be clearer to me. Gary Peters is the best candidate in the race. He has done a lot of good in the senate and can continue to do more good if people vote for him again. I realize that a lot of early voting is under way in this country. So if you can vote for Michigan and haven’t already voted, then vote for Gary Peters for senate.
