11. Money well spent in MI-03

I can't speak about all the money spent, but the money spent in MI-03 was more than likely a wise investment. Prior to redistricting this past year the old district that is represented by Peter Meijer (R) (pronounced my-er) was +5 to +8 republican. After redistricting the new district is now +5 democratic. It has gone from nearly unwinnable to very winnable district.
