Former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will be in Michigan next week stumping for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jack Hoogendyk.
Hoogendyk is a term-limited state rep from Kalamazoo and is challenging Democratic incumbent Carl Levin. Huckabee will attend a fundraiser for Hoogendyk on Oct. 22 at the Farmington Hills’ eatery Vladimirs. Tickets for the event are $50 per person.

I know this is not just some guy out there reading the internet pages, this is somebody who owns a financial company.”
The Hoogendyk camp didn’t have anything to say about this observation from their esteemed guest.
“I have not seen the statement, so I really can’t comment,” said Danae Brock, campaign coordinator for the Hoogendyk camp.
