A Michigan lawyer who chairs a major Republican fundraising dinner in the state announced his candidacy for Rep. Kerry Bentivolio’s (R-MI) congressional seat.
Bentivolio recently caught national attention for saying it would be a “dream come true” to impeach President Barack Obama.
The lawyer, David Trott, announced his candidacy for Bentivolio’s seat on Wednesday. Trott is the chairman of the Oakland County Lincoln Day Dinner which is a high profile fundraising event in the state. Trott also previously was on the finance team for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, according to the Detroit Free Press.
According to Crain’s Detroit Business, Trott’s name will probably appear on the August 5, 2014 ballot for the Republican primary because Bentivolio was defeated in a partial term election against Democrat David Curson.
