One race that has garnered interest is Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, which is up for grabs since Democrat Debbie Stabenow announced she would not seek a fifth term.
Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman and FBI agent, will face former CIA officer and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who has represented central Michigan in Congress since 2018.
Slotkin’s seat in the U.S. House representing Michigan’s 7th District will match Democrat Curtis Hertel against Republican Tom Barrett in a race many pundits consider to be a toss-up. The race is one of 13 House seats up for grabs, four of which are expected to be closely contested.
US House races in Michigan
Republican U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman is seeking his fifth term representing Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. Bergman, who has defeated four straight Democratic challengers in the district, will face Callie Barr, who worked as an attorney before deciding to make a run at Congress.
In the state’s 10th Congressional District, GOP U.S. Rep. John James will face former judge and Democratic challenger Carl Marlinga in a rematch of a 2022 race that was among the closest in the U.S.
Democrat Hillary Scholten, who is seeking a second term, is being challenged by Paul Hudson in another battle that experts expect to be close.

On Tuesday, 468 U.S. congressional seats (33 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election.
Early voting in Michigan began Oct. 26. Polls close at 8 p.m. local time on Election Day.
Michigan is considered part of the “blue wall,” a set of states that have typically voted for Democrats in presidential elections since 1992.
Michigan — which carries 15 electoral votes — voted for Democrats in six straight presidential elections between 1992 and 2012 before former President Donald Trump claimed the state in 2016 by defeating Hillary Clinton by 0.2%. President Joe Biden defeated Trump in 2020 by 2.8%, keeping Michigan a wild card for this year’s election.
