I can imagine one dilemma that Representatives (of both parties) must face when running for the Presidency
... their re-election as Representative is every 2 years, and so always coincides with the term of the President.
OTOH, sometimes Senators luck out when their term does not, and they are simply remaining in office as they run for President.

Michigan may or may not be like other states in requiring candidates to declare if they are running for both offices... I don't know.

In any case, it may well be the staff was negligent in not fulfilling the state's election law requirements in a timely manner.
