Former U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg says he wants to eliminate the word “former” from his title. To do that, the one-term Republican will have to defeat the man who took his seat from in last November’s election, Democrat Mark Schauer.
Walberg tells the Jackson Citizen Patriot he is “in” for a 2010 rematch, and believes based on calls he has made that he will have the support to win.
And why is he running?
Walberg, who has been in elected office for half of his adult life, said he has given strong evidence that he trusts the American people more, and Schauer has proven that he trusts government more. That is the fundamental difference between them, he said.
“That’s going to be the battle in this coming election,” he said.
Walberg also said Schauer’s votes on such legislation as the omnibus and stimulus bills were inappropriate, and not reflective of the district.
Following Walberg’s announcement, Schauer released a statement on Tuesday saying that “[l]ast year’s campaign is over. Now is not the time for politics — now is time to put politics behind us.”
