US House: Republicans Bergman in Michigan, Tiffany and Wied in Wisconsin win
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Jack Bergman won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Michigan on Wednesday. First elected to the U.S. House in 2016, Bergman represents Michigan’s entire Upper Peninsula and much of northern Michigan, including Traverse City. Bergman is a former lieutenant general in the Marine Corps who now serves on the House Armed Services, Veterans Affairs and Budget committees. He was among a number of Republicans who signed onto a Texas-led lawsuit asking the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020. Bergman defeated Democratic challenger Callie Barr. The Associated Press declared Bergman the winner at 12:10 a.m. EST.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Wisconsin on Tuesday.
Tiffany has represented the district that covers a vast expanse of land in northcentral and western Wisconsin since 2020. He is a former state lawmaker who has emerged as one of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters in Wisconsin. He faced only nominal Democratic opposition.
The Associated Press declared Tiffany the winner at 10:48 p.m. EST.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Tony Wied won election to a U.S. House seat representing Wisconsin on Tuesday, holding the seat for his party.
Wied won the backing of former President Donald Trump and defeated Democrat Kristin Lyerly, an obstetrician who had sued to overturn Wisconsin’s abortion ban. Lyerly tried to make the race about abortion, but Wied prevailed in the heavily Republican district.
The seat was vacant after the surprise resignation earlier this year of Republican Mike Gallagher. Wied is the former owner of a chain of gas stations. This was his first race for public office.
The Associated Press declared Wied the winner at 11:54 p.m. EST.
