A pair of Republican businessmen have tossed their hats in the political ring in hopes of taking a state Senate seat currently held by Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop and unseating freshman Democratic Congressman Gary Peters.
The Macomb Daily reports Gene Taliercio will join a growing field of GOP hopefuls to replace Bishop, who is term limited. The paper reports Gene Goodman will join two other Republicans vying for the chance to take on Peters for the 9th Congressional seat.
