GOP Field Opens Up in Michigan
Yesterday, Republican Congressman Pete Hoekstra announced he won't be seeking reelection in 2010. Most people expect him to run for governor instead.
With Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm term-limited out, lots of prominent Republicans are expected to take their shot, including state Attorney General Mike Cox.
Democratic* Lt. Gov. John Cherry is expected to run and may enjoy some incumbency advantages if Granholm snags one of the remaining Cabinet posts, such as Labor.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
