Justin Amash, ex-Congressman, ponders Michigan Senate bid
Former Rep. Justin Amash Takes First Step Toward GOP Senate Run
Former Rep. Justin Amash, known for his departure from the Republican Party after supporting the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, is now considering a run for Michigan’s open Senate seat as a Republican. Despite previously identifying as an independent and later as a Libertarian, Amash announced on X that he is launching an exploratory committee to explore the possibility of entering the race.
“I’ve been humbled in recent weeks by the many people who have urged me to run for Senate in Michigan,” Amash stated. “Today, I’m launching the Justin Amash for Senate Exploratory Committee as I consider entering the race.”
In 2019, Amash made headlines when he broke with the Republican Party and voted to impeach Trump over allegations of abuse of power. He then became an Independent and later a Libertarian, ultimately deciding not to seek reelection to the House. In 2020, he even considered a third-party challenge to Trump but ultimately decided against it.
The race for the GOP nomination to succeed retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is highly competitive, with several candidates vying for the position. However, Amash argues that none of the current Republican contenders are suitable for the job.
“Contenders for the seat who are uninspired, unserious, and unprepared to tackle the chief impediment to liberty and economic prosperity—an overgrown and abusive government that strives to centralize power and snuff out individualism,” Amash expressed. “The people of Michigan and our country deserve better.”
Amash has not provided a specific timeline for when he will make a final decision about entering the race. On the Democratic side, there are also several candidates running for the nomination.
