The race for state Senate is heating up

By the time Gary Peters was ready to run for the U.S. Senate he had an impressive resume as long as your arm.

That included a tour in the Navy, a stint in the state legislature, he was state lottery czar and run unsuccessfully for state attorney general.

By the time Debbie Stabenow was teed up to run for the U.S. Senate her even more impressive resume was as long as your leg. She worked in county government, then served on the county commission, next the state legislature, then an unsuccessful bid for governor and lt. governor, and she recently hung it up after a long run in the U.S. Senate.
