U.S. House District 8
Election Date: Nov. 5, 2024 | Updated 2:34 PM EST Nov. 25, 2024
This seat has been represented by somebody with the last name Kildee for decades, but is open after U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Twp., announced he wasn't running for another term. The Democrat vying to replace him is state Sen. Kristen McDonald-Rivet, while Republican Paul Junge makes his third congressional run. The race is considered a near toss-up.
