Michigan U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has advanced in her re-election bid in Michigan’s 12th Congressional district.
Tlaib, a Democrat, beat out primary challengers Janice Winfrey, Kelly Garrett and Shanelle Jackson. She’ll face the GOP nominee in the 12th district in November, and will be a heavy favorite to win re-election, albeit in a new district.
Tlaib moved from the 13th district to the 12th district after redrawn maps took effect this year.
