Michigan Democrats hope a former State lawmaker can unseat Republican incumbent Tim Walberg in the 7th Congressional district next year.

Pam Byrnes is a former State Representative and House Speaker Pro-Tem from Chelsea.

She tells Current State that she thinks Walberg has put special interests and corporations ahead of the needs of working families.
