Question: The Republican nominee in the 2012 United States Senate election in Michigan represented Michigan's 2nd congressional district between what years?
Context: The 1922 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 7, 1922.  Incumbent United States Senator Henry L. Myers, who was first elected to the Senate in 1910, and was re-elected in 1916, declined to seek re-election.  Former United States Attorney Burton K. Wheeler won the Democratic primary and advanced to the general election, where he faced Carl W. Riddick, the United States Congressman from Montana's 2nd congressional district and the Republican nominee.  Ultimately, Wheeler defeated Riddick comfortably and won his first term in the Senate. The 2012 United States Senate election in Indiana took place on November 6, 2012, concurrently with the U.S. presidential election as well as other elections to the United States Senate, House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.  Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Richard Lugar ran for re-election to a seventh term, but was defeated in the primary by Tea Party-backed Richard Mourdock.  Congressman Joe Donnelly, a moderate Democrat from Indiana's 2nd Congressional District, received his party's nomination after running unopposed in the primary contest, and then defeated both Mourdock and Libertarian Andrew Horning in the general election. John F. MacGovern (born July 14, 1951) is an American politician who represented the 2nd Middlesex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1983-91.  He was the Republican nominee in the Massachusetts's 5th congressional district election in 1990, losing to incumbent Chester G. Atkins 52% to 48%.  He later moved to Vermont.  He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Vermont Senate in 2004 and 2006.  He unsuccessfully ran as the Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat held by Bernie Sanders in the 2012 election. The 2010 United States Senate election in Indiana took place on November 2, 2010, alongside 33 other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections to fill Indiana's class III United States Senate seat.  Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Evan Bayh decided in February 2010 to retire instead of seeking a third term shortly after former U.S. Senator Dan Coats announced his candidacy for Bayh's contested seat.  No Democratic candidate submitted enough signatures by the deadline to run, leading Democratic officials to choose U.S. Congressman Brad Ellsworth to be the nominee.  The Libertarian Party nominated YMCA instructor Rebecca Sink-Burris, who had previously run against Evan Bayh in the United States Senate election in Indiana, 1998 but with less success than in this election.  Republican nominee and former U.S. Senator Dan Coats won the open seat. The 1978 United States Senate election in Maine was held on November 7, 1978.  Incumbent Democratic United States Senator William Hathaway decided to run for re-election to a second term, but was defeated by William Cohen, the Republican nominee and the United States Congressman from Maine's 2nd congressional district. Pieter "Pete" Hoekstra ( ; born October 30, 1953) is a Dutch-American politician who is a former member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Michigan's 2nd congressional district from 1993 to 2011.  Hoekstra is a member of the Republican Party. The 2012 United States Senate election in Michigan was held on November 6, 2012, alongside a presidential election, other elections to the United States Senate in other states, as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.  Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow was re-elected to a third term after being unopposed in the Democratic primary.  The Republican nominee was former Congressman Pete Hoekstra.  Stabenow defeated Hoekstra by a landslide 21% margin and by almost one million votes. David "Kawika" Crowley, born in 1952, was the Hawaii Republican nominee for the United States House of Representatives, 2nd congressional district in November 2012.  A colorful and offbeat candidate, he achieved notability as the "homeless handyman" running for Congress.  He was the first homeless person in Hawaii and perhaps any state to be nominated for Congress on a major party ticket.  In 2014, Crowley again won the Republican primary race for the 2nd Congressional district in a contested race. The 1954 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 2, 1954.  Incumbent United States Senator James E. Murray, who was first elected to the Senate in a special election in 1934 and was re-elected in 1936, 1942, and 1948, ran for re-election.  After winning the Democratic primary against trivial opponents, he advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by Wesley A. D'Ewart, the Republican nominee and the United States Congressman from Montana's 2nd congressional district.  A contentious and close election ensued, but ultimately, Murray was able to narrowly win re-election over D'Ewart to a final term in the Senate. The 1976 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 2, 1976.  Rather than seek a fifth term, incumbent United States Senator Mike Mansfield, a Democrat, opted to retire, creating an open seat.

Burger, the Republican nominee, by a wide margin in the general election.
