A Democratic activist announced today she's challenging Rep. Bart Stupak out of her frustration that his hard line on abortion funding threatens to derail sweeping health care legislation pending in Congress.
Connie Saltonstall, a former Charlevoix County commissioner and retired businesswoman, acknowledged the difficulty she faces in trying to knock off the nine-term Democrat from Menominee, whom she has voted for in the past.
"I do think I have a shot," said Saltonstall, who described herself as "pro-choice."
