MI-SEN: Is This Celebrity Candidate's (D) Michigan Story Just an Act?
When actor Hill Harper launched his Democratic Senate campaign on Monday, he did so with a video message to his son.
“Dear Pierce,” the video begins. “I’m recording this video for you because I’m about to make a big announcement.”
Harper continued that he learned on his grandfather’s farm that, “when you plant something in good soil, you get something better in return.”
“That's why I’m raising you in Michigan,” he said.
But for someone raising his son in Michigan, Harper seems to spend a lot of time outside the state. And whether his son is really being raised in Michigan is already becoming a point of contention; just weeks ago, Pierce Harper was attending school 2,000 miles away—in Seattle, Washington......
During the time Harper was claiming to live in Michigan, he also appears to have maintained residences in California and Seattle. He bought a condo in Malibu in 2018, which he later rented out, but The Seattle Times also reported that Harper moved to their city during the first season of The Good Doctor, which aired between 2017 and 2018. The paper noted that, as of 2020, Harper reportedly commuted between Seattle and Vancouver, where the show filmed.
