WASHINGTON, DC (WHTC-AM/FM) – St. Joseph Congressman Fred Upton announced today that he will not be a candidate for the 2018 GOP U.S. Senate nomination. MIRS News reports in a statement that Upton’s focus will remain on helping all of his constituents with problems big and small and improving the quality of life for all in Michigan.
In the statement he also says he is excited about seeing his bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act through, getting historic tax-reform into law to help Michigan’s middle-class families, advancing common-sense ‘all-of-the-above’ energy solutions and working with the Problem Solvers Caucus to do it all in a bipartisan way.
MIRS News reports that the removal of a possible Upton bid leaves Detroit businessman John James as the clear front-runner over former Supreme Court Justice Robert Young according to a poll commissioned by MIRS and released earlier this week.
