Washington, D.C. – Statement from the National Republican Senatorial Committee Communications Director Brad Dayspring on reports that Gary Peters will enter the 2014 Michigan Senate race:

“Gary Peters already lost a statewide campaign and that was before supporting a cap and trade energy tax policy that would effectively put Michigan out of business and ObamaCare which will raise health care costs. It takes a special kind of guy like Peters to ask for a promotion from the very same people that his policies would put out of work.

“If Gary Peters is indeed the Democratic candidate in Michigan, Republicans have a great opportunity to pick up this seat and move closer to the taking majority in 2014.”
