Hoekstra Gets Endorsement From Michelle Bachmann

DETROIT (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann is endorsing former congressman Pete Hoekstra for Michigan's GOP senate nomination.

Bachmann is a Minnesota congresswoman and a former colleague of Hoekstra, who represented west Michigan in Congress.

She says Hoekstra will "put Michigan back to work with a pro-growth economy."

Hoekstra is one of six Republicans vying to run against incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow in 2012.
