He says he moved to Washington to work for the Department of Homeland Security and then to California to be near his dying father.Īs The Detroit News notes, Junge was born in Michigan in 1966 and lived there until 1974, when his parents moved to California for work. In that ad, Junge argued that Kildee is trying to distract from inflation, saying he was born in Michigan and claiming his family 'moved around a lot' because his parents worked on military bases. Kildee's spot is a retort to a Junge ad that itself was responding to similar initial attacks from Kildee about Junge's ties to central Michigan. Now Junge is running in a different district in a totally different part of the state-the Flint and Tri-Cities area, where he's never lived. Kildee charges Junge only moved back to Michigan ahead of a bid for a House seat in the Detroit area in 2020, when he lost to Democratic Rep. The most recent spot comes from Kildee, who notes that Junge spent 40 years living outside the state, 30 of those in California.
