Democrat Chedrick Greene’s campaign used the Iran war as a pressure point against Republican rival Jason Tunney on Wednesday, as their pivotal Michigan state senate race hits the homestretch. 

The two men are competing to represent a toss-up district for a special election set for May 5. The race is significant as Democrats currently have a one-seat majority in the Michigan Senate. If Tunney were to win, the chamber would be tied 19-19.
