A recent ad supporting Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer says he is a “conservative fighter standing up for Michigan” who “voted against Biden’s reckless spending, fought to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border and he’ll defend our Second Amendment rights and protect life.”
Financed by the super PAC called Principled Leadership for Michigan, the ad comes as Meijer is battling for survival in next week’s 3rd District Republican primary against an opponent endorsed by former President Donald Trump, John Gibbs.
Helping Meijer in that fight is the super PAC, which got $500,000 of the $757,000 it has disclosed raising so far from a single donor who appears to be Meijer’s father, although the PAC’s disclosure reports to the Federal Election Commission use a different spelling for his last name.
