This weekend, the Detroit News reported that Bill Huizenga has been quietly added to the NRCC’s “Patriots” program for “vulnerable candidates.”
Detroit News: “As he faces a challenge from Democratic state Sen. Sean McCann, Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Holland, was recently added to the NRCC’s Patriots program for vulnerable candidates.”
This news comes as Huizenga faces his toughest race yet from Sean McCann, whose campaign continues to build momentum.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith: “Bill Huizenga is in serious danger this November after years in Washington working for himself. Take it from the NRCC, who clearly knows Sean McCann’s campaign is making Huizenga more vulnerable each day.”
Refresh your memory on Huizenga’s self-serving record:
“Financial disclosure forms from 2011 and 2025 reveal that the eight-term representative has roughly tripled his total assets and increased his net worth by as much as five times since first taking office 15 years ago.”
“Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga’s campaign has paid more than $400,000 to a company owned by his brother, who has simultaneously worked as a full-time real estate agent and helped sell luxury condos owned by Huizenga and his wife, a Metro Times review of campaign finance filings, corporate records, property records, and other public documents found.”
“Michigan Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga’s campaign spent more than $3,000 on Montana snowmobile rentals and about $440 at fancy Puerto Rico restaurant Marmalade in February and March of this year alone, according to a new investigation by the Daily Beast’s sister Substack PunchUp. Marmalade serves only a five-course tasting menu at $155 a head, plus a $105 wine pairing.”
“Federal Election Commission filings also show that in April 2024, the campaign spent more than $2,500 at a high-end hotel and ski resort in Aspen, Colorado, including $1,986.15 in “travel expenses” at the Little Nell, Aspen’s only five-star, ski-in/ski-out hotel, where rooms start at $799 a night.”
