GOGEBIC COUNTY — Yesterday we told you about millage renewals that voters in Gogebic County will find on the Ballot for state primary election this Tuesday.  Voters in Gogebic County and throughout Michigan will also decide on races for the Senate and House that may play a major role in deciding control of the narrowly divided state legislature. In the race to replace Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, the Democratic primary on Tuesday features U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin and actor Hill Harper. The likely Republican nominee is former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, who is looking to end his party’s 24-year drought in Michigan U.S. Senate races.   In the First Congressional District which includes Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties two candidates are running on the Republican side of Michigan’s primary election.  Incumbent Jack Bergman of Watersmeet is being challenged by Josh Saul of Roscommon.  On the Democratic Party side Callie Barr from Traverse City will face off against Bob Lorinser from Marquette.
