Republican Dan Benishek has won the race to succeed veteran Democrat Bart Stupak in Congress.

Stupak had announced in April that he wouldn’t seek a 10th term in Washington,after helping rescue President Barack Obama’s health care plan.

Benishek is a general surgeon and political novice who tapped into the growing tea party movement and voter angst in northern Michigan’s 1st District to beat 58-year-old state Rep. Gary McDowell,a moderate Democrat supported by Stupak.

The 58-year-old Benishek has called for deep cuts in government spending,favors repealing the health care law and pledged not to seek any funding “earmarks” for projects back home.
