Amash A Near Lock.

State Rep. Justin Amash emerged victorious over four other Republicans in the district retiring Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R) is leaving behind. With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Amash had 41 percent of the vote. With the support of the Club for Growth and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Amash defeated a field that included former Kent County Commission Chairman Steven Heacock, who had Ehlers' endorsement. The general election is unlikely to matter in this safe Republican district.Link
