California Carpetbagger Paul Junge Couldn’t Hide His Out of Touch Agenda During Tonight’s MI 08 Debate

In tonight's debate for Michigan's 8th Congressional District, Paul Junge couldn't hide the fact that he is a California carpetbagger and trust fund baby with an extreme agenda that Michiganders have already rejected twice.

As a reminder, Junge:

• Has described himself as pro-life "at all times " and ran his first campaign pledging to oppose abortion rights.

• Said that Roe created "made up rights" and said he would "celebrate the opportunity" to restrict women's reproductive freedoms.

• Pledged his loyalty to extremist Republican leadership and their dangerous Project 2025 agenda.

• Admitted that he would rather be a perennial loser than get a real job.

• Made it crystal clear that he supports a plan that would force deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

• Doesn't even live in the district and only moved back to Michigan to run for office.

Meanwhile, Kristen McDonald Rivet laid out a clear contrast with her opponent on their backgrounds, protecting abortion rights, and her plans to improve the lives of working class Michigan families.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"Kristen McDonald Rivet is the only candidate in this race who understands mid-Michigan values and what it means to fight for middle-class families. The debate tonight cemented what Michigan voters have been saying for years: Paul Junge is an out-of-touch, far-right, anti-abortion extremist who should move back to California and stop trying to buy a seat in Michigan."
