A Republican is seeking to disqualify Democratic candidate Curtis Hertel Jr. from Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, claiming he made errors in his election forms. Hertel's campaign says the former GOP election official ignored comparable technicalities on his own watch.

Michigan's fifth district congressman Dan Kildee spoke with WCMU reporter Rick Brewer about the legislation he's co-sponsoring to seize Russian assets and the future of the NATO alliance.
