Democrats won a pair of special state House elections in Michigan on Tuesday, regaining their majority in the chamber — and their trifecta across state government in the crucial battleground state.'
The Associated Press projected that the Democratic candidates won their races for the open seats in the 13th and 25th state House districts.
In the 13th District — which encompasses a large part of the city of Warren, within purple Macomb County — Democrat Mai Xiong, a member of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, defeated Republican Ronald Singer. The seat became vacant when the incumbent Democrat, Lori Stone, resigned after she won an election last fall to be the mayor of Warren.
I know this is not new but I had the flu when this happened and missed it. It is so excellent...and I think significant for November.
