You left out the biggie... when Willard’s mama, Lenore, ran for the Senate in 1970 against Dem incumbent Philip Hart. She holds the record for the WORST defeat by a Republican nominee for the Senate in the history of Michigan (less than 33% of the vote — even Jack Hoogendyk did better against Lenin in 2008).
That family is a cancer to the GOP.
Ouch, I didn’t know she did THE worst.
State first ladies are sure a mixed bag when it comes to electoral success on their own. Huck’s wife got killed for SOS as I recall.
