Sources tell West Michigan Politics that Nikki Snyder, a Conservative Mom and State Board Of Education member popular among the Republican grassroots, will run for the open US House seat being vacated by Rep. Dan Kildee.
Kildee, the 8th District Representative, stunned the political world when he announced his retirement a few months ago.
Kildee, a cancer survivor, is focusing on his health issues instead of clinging to Congress for 2 or more years.
Nikki Snyder enters the race as a front-runner to win the Republican nomination, and she has the ability to compete and win against the Democrat nominee in November. She is known as a fierce fighter for parental and student rights in her time as a State Board Of Ed member.
In the Republican primary, Snyder faces Paul Junge, a serial candidate who has spent most of his life in California---and already lost general election races for Congress in 2020 and 2022. Trucking company owner Anthony Hudson is also running.
The winner faces ex Flint Mayor Matt Collier, State Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet, Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley, State Board of Education President Pamela Pugh, or environmentalist Dan Moilanen in November---those are the Democrat candidates.
The filing deadline is April 23rd...
