Incumbent Peter Meijer and John Gibbs are running in the Republican primary for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District on August 2, 2022. The winner of the primary will face Hillary Scholten (D) in the November general election.
Meijer was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump (R) following the breach of the U.S. capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump endorsed Gibbs in this primary.
Regarding his impeachment vote, Meijer said, “I take the oath I swore to the Constitution, an oath I took under God, seriously and voted accordingly,” adding that he was focused on “checking the policies of the Biden Administration so that we can serve West Michigan families.”
