Gretchen Whitmer’s Sister Announced Congressional Bid

“Liz Gereghty, a small-business founder and sister of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), announced a Democratic bid Tuesday for a New York congressional seat that Democrats narrowly lost last year and see as one of their best pickup opportunities next year as they try to reclaim control of the House,” the Washington Post reports.

“The seat, in the northern New York City suburbs, is held by Rep. Michael Lawler (R), who pulled off a stunning upset last year of Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D), then the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.”
