Sandy Pensler Joins GOP Race For Senate

(MPRN-Undated) Millionaire businessman Sandy Pensler has joined the group of Republicans who want to be the nominee to run against incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow. 

Pensler says he is a trained economist and an entrepreneur who understands how to drive job creation. He also says he’s a big fan of President Trump’s efforts to reduce regulations on businesses.

“President Trump has been trying to roll it back. I think they’ve done a good job with that, and I want to support that and a lot of the other policies that he has provided.”

Years ago, Pensler ran for Congress as a Republican who favors abortion rights. He says that’s no longer his position on the issue.

“My views on abortion have evolved as I’ve had my own family and children. I consider myself ‘pro-life’ now.”

Pensler joins a growing GOP field that already includes businessman and military veteran John James and former state Supreme Court Justice Robert Young.
