Former Detroit police chief James Craig (R) “is suspending his campaign for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat and weighing running for mayor of Detroit,” the Detroit News reports.
“Craig said while he viewed himself as the leader for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, he had made a ‘business decision’ because of concerns about the cost of obtaining and verifying the required 15,000 valid petition signatures he needed by April 23 to make the primary ballot.”
