Michigan Rep. Bill Huizenga (R) is hosting a fundraiser next week with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on June 4.
Here’s a copy of the invite we obtained. Duffy and Huizenga served together in the House until Duffy’s 2019 departure. Both were members of the House Financial Services Committee.
Huizenga is considering a bid for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.).
The cold war over the state’s Republican Senate primary has continued to heat up this week. NRSC political director Brendan Jaspers shared polling data on Wednesday showing former Rep. Mike Rogers pulling ahead of Huizenga in support, name recognition and favorability.
Many Senate Republicans have endorsed Rogers, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
But we don’t expect this struggle to end for a bit – not without an endorsement from President Donald Trump. Trump opted not to endorse Rogers at a Michigan rally in late April, despite doing so in 2024. Huizenga spoke with Trump just before the rally.
In the weeks since, Huizenga has drifted closer to a Senate run. We scooped the contract he signed with BrabenderCox, a firm with ties to Trump’s prior presidential campaign.
