Summary
Christina Hines, a special victims prosecutor, won the Democratic primary in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District on Tuesday and advances to the Nov. 3 general election.
The nomination sets up a key open-seat contest after Republican Rep. John James left the district to run for governor, removing the incumbency advantage that helped him hold the seat.
James won reelection in 2024 by 51.1% to 45.0% after a much tighter 48.8% to 48.3% victory in 2022, underscoring why Democrats see the district as competitive despite its recent Republican lean.
Hines is running on affordability, a higher minimum wage and protecting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, while framing her prosecutorial record and anti-corruption message as a way to help Democrats chip at the GOP’s slim House majority.
