Trump-backed Bronze Star veteran secures party nod in must-win district

Michael Bouchard, a Bronze Star veteran and Republican congressional candidate, secured the GOP primary in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District with an endorsement from President Donald Trump. Bouchard, a military veteran with deployments to Iraq and the U.S. southern border, will challenge Democratic nominee Carl Marlinga in a district previously represented by Rep. John James, who stepped down to pursue a gubernatorial bid.
