1st term #MI08 Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin will face Republican primary winner Paul Junge per AP in the fall election. Slotkin flipped the Lansing/northern Oakland County area House seat in 2018 by defeating 2nd term GOP Rep. Mike Bishop in a competitive race 50.6%-46.8%.
NRCC:" Slotkin has broken every campaign promise since getting elected to Congress,from her phony ‘no corporate PAC’ pledge,to supporting partisan impeachment sham,to voting in lockstep w/Pelosi 97% of time. Voters cannot trust Slotkin & will reject her partisan politics in Nov."
DCCC on Rep Slotkin:“It’s no wonder Republicans 'swung & missed' in recruiting a credible candidate to challenge her. In the end,they got Paul Junge,a recent MI resident w/a 2nd-rate resume who has actively spread misinformation on COVID-19..Michiganders will reelect her in Nov."
