There will be a November re-match between former Congressman Tim Walberg and Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer. Walberg defeated Brian Rooney and Marvin Carlson in the Seventh Congressional District Republican primary.

Walberg says Schauer will not have President Barack Obama's coat-tails to ride on this November.

"We have an informed public that now has seen that this "Hope and Change" is not what they wanted or expected," Walberg says. "That they feel like the fear factor has been engendered because of the loss of liberty and the loss of economic security in the nation."

Walberg says his conservative values will help him regain his old congressional seat.
