Democratic U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar faces a rematch in Michigan's 13th House District against Republican Martell Bivings, who he defeated in 2022.
Why it matters: The race will shape Detroit's congressional representation, addressing critical issues and reflecting shifts in community priorities.
Thanedar won two years ago with 71% of the vote to Bivings' 24%, snapping Detroit's 70-year streak of Black representation in Congress.
Former Rep. Brenda Lawrence retired in 2022 instead of running in the redrawn 13th District.
Zoom in: The district includes parts of Detroit and Dearborn Heights, Hamtramck, Highland Park, the Grosse Pointes, Melvindale, Lincoln Park, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Wayne, River Rouge and Wyandotte.
