National Republicans are going all in on MI-03

We knew this race was going to be tough, but now it’s clear just how competitive things are.   John, We just got word that National Republicans have added my opponent (Paul Hudson) to their 2024 Young Guns Program. This means they’re going all in on this race and will be pourin…
