Race Analysis

In 2006, Tim Walberg knocked off moderate Republican Rep. Joe Schwarz in the GOP primary, thanks to help from the Club for Growth. Walberg went on to defeat Sharon Renier (D) by just 4 points despite outspending her more than twenty to one. That’s a luxury he won’t have this year against state Senate Minority Leader Mark Schauer (D), who so far has outraised the Republican.
