Conspiracy theorists are in the U.S. House of Representatives, why not an election denier in the Michigan Senate?

Chad Selweski brings us the news on his blog:
A Macomb County lawmaker, who embraced the conspiracy theories that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election, announced today that he is running for a vacant state Senate seat created by Pete Lucido, who was elected as the new Macomb County prosecutor in November.
State Rep. Doug Wozniak, a Shelby Township Republican, said in a press release that he is a small business owner and attorney who “already understands the law and its processes to the residents throughout Macomb County.”
Wozniak was one of the 15 Lansing Republicans who signed a legal brief supporting Texas Attorney General Ted Paxton's unsuccessful suit in December, seeking to overturn the election -- but only the presidential part -- in Michigan and three other states. Also, well ...
First elected to the state House in 2018, Wozniak has not distinguished himself during his 25 months in office, other than his embrace of the counterfeit claims of Trump winning the election – a conspiracy theory promoted by fringe right-wing groups who engaged in the Jan. 6 violent rampage of the U.S. Capitol.
Good luck, Macomb County, in our continued experiment in self-governance.
