As you cover career government creature Curtis Hertel’s announcement today, please consider the following statement from the National Republican Congressional Committee:

“After spending years voting against tax cuts for hardworking Americans all while approving $175 million to the Chinese Communist Party, retired lobbyist Curtis Hertel is looking for a new government check. Michigan voters are well aware of Hertel’s extreme record and will swiftly reject him as Republicans flip the 7th.” – NRCC Spokesman Chris Gustafson
