MI-SEN: Ex-congressman Peter Meijer launches exploratory committee for Senate run
Former congressman Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) is taking a step toward a potential run for Michigan’s open seat in the U.S. Senate, joining a growing number of people running or considering a campaign in the battleground race.
An IRS filing from a “Meijer for Senate Exploratory Committee” was submitted Tuesday, saying the purpose of the organization is to “test the waters for a potential candidacy for US Senate.”
Meijer on Thursday confirmed to the Detroit Free-Press that he formed an exploratory committee, saying, “I am honored by the many Michigan conservatives who are encouraging me to run.”
“Winning in 2024 is the only way we can stop (President) Biden’s ruinous economic policies and mass weaponization of government,” he told the Free Press. “It will take someone who can’t be bought and is willing to be bold, and I am considering running for Senate to do my part to get us out of this mess.”
