Anti-Trump PAC Targets Huizenga's 4th Congressional District In Midterm Election Spending Campaign

December 8, 2025

The anti-Trump Save America Movement PAC, the spending arm of a nonprofit organization founded by former Republicans to combat policies of President Donald Trump, launched its “Save America Seats” midterm election spending campaign.

The campaign will target districts held by GOP incumbents, as well as defending battleground districts currently held by Democrats. Among the first districts targeted in the campaign is Michigan’s 4th Congressional District, currently held by U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Holland Township).

The initial spending push will focus on 11 congressional districts, but the group hopes to expand to over 50 U.S. House races, a press release from the organization said.

“SAM PAC is applying one standard to its evaluation of Congressional districts: any member, Democrat or Republican, who backs Trump’s economic agenda at the expense of their own constituents will face accountability,” the press release stated.

The spending in the campaign could reach $100 million, according to POLITICO.

“For years, DC Democrats wrote off rural towns, farmers, ranchers, veterans, and small businesses while Trump’s policies gutted them,” Mary Corcoran, a co-founder of the Save America Movement PAC said in the press release. “We’re not writing them off. We’re speaking to them in their media, in their language, on their terms. These races don’t become competitive by magic. They become competitive when you hit early and never let up.”

Steve Schmidt, another co-founder of the PAC, called out a “deep crisis of competence” within the Democratic national establishment, noting that this campaign intends to focus on areas of the country that the party tends to invest less in.

The campaign will include rural radio, agricultural-network buys, billboards and targeted digital programs, and will focus on directly tying incumbent Republican members of Congress to Trump’s policies, including health care costs and rural hospital closures.

Michigan’s 4th Congressional District is a target district for Democrats to flip in 2026 — especially as Huizenga had left questions open as to whether or not he would run for re-election after deciding in July not to run for U.S. Senate.

A recent poll by Public Policy Polling showed state Sen. Sean McCann (D-Kalamazoo) within the margin of error behind Huizenga, only trailing by two points.

McCann — who was recently endorsed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — faces Kalamazoo attorney Jessica Swartz, IT and cybersecurity professional Richard Aaron and former Congressional staffer Diop Harris in the Democratic primary. Huizenga currently has no Republican primary competitors, according to Federal Elections Commission data.
