Congressman Gary Peters to Challenge Hansen Clarke

According to an online story by Dan Hirschhorn in POLITICO, Congressman Gary Peters has decided to run in a newly-drawn Detroit-area congressional district that will pit him against freshman and fellow Democratic Congressman Hansen Clarke. Peters thus avoids a primary challenge to Congressman Sander Levin.

The POLITICO story lists Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence as another candidate for that same seat.

Should be a very interesting primary. Will Peters begin changing his image and voting record to appeal to a more Democratic seat?
