GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A Republican backed by the DeVos family has a slight lead in fundraising and far more cash on hand than two others in his party running to oust U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Grand Rapids, this fall in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional district.

Federal campaign finance fillings released Monday, April 15, show that not only does East Grand Rapids attorney Paul Hudson have a lead in fundraising but that a number of big-name West Michigan Republican donors and business leaders have coalesced around his candidacy.
