Justin Amash Officially Re-Elected

|

Grand Rapids-area Republican Justin Amash (uh-MOSH') has won re-election to Congress.

The 34-year-old from Kent County's Cascade Township beat Democratic challenger Bob Goodrich in Tuesday's midterm election.

Goodrich is the longtime president and CEO of Goodrich Quality Theaters. The 74-year-old businessman from East Grand Rapids faced an uphill battle in unseating Amash in the Republican-leaning 3rd District, which includes parts of five counties and the cities of Grand Rapids and Battle Creek.
