SPOKANE, Wash. – Michael Baumgartner has filed for his race in the 5th Congressional District seat as a top contender for the Republican Party.
Baumgartner said he filed online in his kitchen surrounded by his five children and wife.
“This isn’t just another election in America; this is a wake-up call for our way of life. We need to protect the American Dream for our children.” Baumgartner said.
A recent finance report from the Spokesman Review showed the candidates financial standings in race putting Baumgartner far above his competitors at an over $250,000-dollar gap between him and the next candidate.
