RATING CHANGE: MI-07 Moves To “Lean Republican”

Bad news is piling on for liberal lobbyist Curtis Hertel, as the Cook Political Report just shifted their MI-07 race rating from “Toss Up” to “Lean Republican.”  

This is the second prognosticator this week to move the race rating toward Republican Tom Barrett, as recent public polling found Hertel losing to Barrett by two points.

“Despite his ‘regular guy’ routine, voters are clearly seeing liberal lobbyist Curtis Hertel for the extreme partisan he is and are ready to reject him,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole.
