MI-04: Democratic foe raises $1M in bid to unseat GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga

Washington — Democratic state Sen. Sean McCann outraised incumbent GOP U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga by about $400,000 in the first quarter of 2026 as the longtime Republican lawmaker looks to withstand a potential blue wave in southwest Michigan and nationally.

McCann, D-Kalamazoo, brought in just over $1 million between January 1 and March 31. By contrast, Huizenga, R-Holland, raised about $635,000 over the same period, according to campaign finance reports disclosed Wednesday.

“Momentum continues to build behind Sean’s campaign to bring real representation to Southwest Michigan,” McCann's campaign manager, Simone Archer-Krauss, said in a statement.

Huizenga, who is seeking his ninth term in Congress, represents a swath of the west Michigan lakeshore in the state's 4th Congressional District. He still has a sizable cash advantage over his Democratic challenger, ending the first quarter with about $1.9 million in the bank. McCann finished with about $1 million in reserves.
