Michigan’s 10th Congressional District has a new Republican candidate after Bronze Star veteran Michael Bouchard won the GOP primary on Tuesday evening. Bouchard, who received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, will now head to the November 3 general election.
Background and Platform
Bouchard, a member of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, was deployed to Iraq and the U.S. southern border. He was awarded a Bronze Star for his service with the joint task force against ISIS. Bouchard is highlighting his military background and pitching himself as a continued part of the country’s shift away from the previous administration’s direction.
Bouchard’s campaign focuses on fostering American manufacturing, finishing the southern border wall, and increasing parental participation in education systems. He has also attracted endorsements from key congressional figures such as U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
Previous Election Results
Incumbent Rep. John James, who announced he would vacate the seat to pursue a gubernatorial bid, previously won reelection in 2024 with 51.1% of the vote. The cycle before that, James won by a narrow margin of 48.8% to 48.3% in 2022.
