US Rep. Rashida Tlaib will run for re-election in Michigan’s newly created 12th district Tlaib switching from 13th to 12th district
DETROIT – Michigan U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib says she will run for re-election in the new 12th Congressional District created by the redistricting committee.
Tlaib, a democrat who currently represents the 13th district, is looking to secure her third term as a Michigan U.S. congresswoman. She released a statement on the decision:
“As expected, communities in the current 13th Congressional District were unfortunately split up between the new 12th and 13th Congressional Districts. After much deliberation with my family, residents, and my team, I am excited to announce that I will be running for re-election in what will now be Michigan’s 12th Congressional District. The new 12th Congressional District contains nearly two-thirds of the people I currently serve. I’m excited to continue to fight for our residents and engage with new neighbors in Wayne and Oakland Counties.”
