Democratic candidate for Congress, Matt Morgan, is rallying voters to be put on the November 6th ballot. He's running as the sole Democrat against republican incumbent Jack Bergman for Michigan’s 1st Congressional District seat.

However, due to clerical error, Morgan will first have to receive enough write-in votes on the August 7th vote next Tuesday. To cast a vote for candidate Morgan, voters must write in his name under the House of Representatives section of the ballot.

Because the number of votes he needs cannot be determined until Election Day, Morgan says every vote counts.

“Voters here in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula are primarily concerned about key things that everybody's concerned about--good paying jobs, protecting the environment, making sure our infrastructure's taken care of,” said Morgan. “It doesn't really matter, Democrat or Republican, as long as you're willing to represent the values of this district and take those priorities to Washington, then you deserve the opportunity to represent these folks.”
