Curson Bests Rep.-Elect Bentivolio for Five-Week Term

Thursday, November 8, 2012

In one of the more unusual splits in local election results, Democrat David Curson bested Rep.-Elect Kerry Bentivolio in the contest to finish out former U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter's term in the 112th Congress. Curson joins Craig to talk about his plans for a truncated time in Washington.

McCotter resigned in July after an election scandal rocked the Livonia Congressman's office. Curson will fill the remainder of McCotter's last term in a period of political brinkmanship as Congress attempts to avert falling off the so-called 'fiscal cliff' at the end of the calendar year.
