The Michigan House seat vacated by independent Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.)—who quit the GOP last year and voted to impeach the president—has been reclaimed for the Republicans by Peter Meijer, a 32-year-old Iraq veteran.

The race for Michigan’s 3rd District, which covers the city of Grand Rapids, was called by Decision Desk and The Associated Press for Meijer over his Democrat opponent Hillary Scholten.
