DETROIT (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Peter Hoekstra says he's running for Michigan governor.
The 55-year-old from Holland made the announcement Monday morning on WJR-AM's Paul W. Smith program.
Hoekstra says he plans to file formal paperwork Monday afternoon in Lansing.
He says the state needs a new vision.
Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm can't run for re-election because of term limits.
