‘Outsider’ House primary winner sets sights on flipping longtime GOP seat back from Dems: ‘Ready for a change’
Terri DeBoer, a veteran meteorologist, has won the Republican primary in Michigan's Third Congressional District and is now aiming to reclaim the seat from Democratic incumbent Hillary Scholten. DeBoer, who describes herself as an "outsider" candidate, says voters in the West Michigan district are frustrated with Scholten's voting record and are "ready for a change" after a period of Democratic control.
Speaking to Fox News Digital shortly after her primary victory, DeBoer said this sentiment for change came up repeatedly in conversations with voters. The district has historically leaned Republican, and DeBoer's campaign is framing the race as an opportunity to flip it back, positioning her outsider status and local roots as key advantages heading into the general election contest against Scholten.
