GOP Congressional candidate to skip mid-Michigan debate forum, drawing criticism
GOP Congressional candidate Thomas J. Smith is skipping a mid-Michigan debate forum. Smith previously suspended his campaign before winning the primary, and his decision to skip the event has drawn criticism.
Thomas J. Smith made national headlines with his August Republican primary victory after he had suspended his campaign and endorsed an opponent weeks earlier. Since then, he's resumed his campaign, but won't be participating in a forum attended by his GOP predecessors in the 8th District race.
