MI-10: GOP hopeful faces ballot challenge in suburban Detroit U.S. House race
Washington — U.S. House hopeful Robert Lulgjuraj is facing two separate challenges over his ballot eligibility in a contested Republican primary for a suburban Detroit swing district.
The complaints, filed by GOP primary opponent Justin Kirk and by a political action committee supporting fellow GOP candidate Michael Bouchard, allege that Lulgjuraj misstated his residency on official filings and did not submit enough valid nominating petition signatures to appear on the upcoming ballot.
Both could jeopardize his candidacy.
The efforts to disqualify Lulgjuraj — if successful — would reshape the GOP nomination fight in a U.S. House race that could be among this year's tightest nationally. Republican U.S. Rep. John James holds the seat for now, but the Shelby Township lawmaker opted to run for governor of Michigan instead of seeking reelection to his current post.
