The match up for November in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District is all but set, as U.S. Army veteran Michael Bouchard Jr. and attorney Christina Hines secured their respective party’s nominations in Tuesday’s primary election.
With U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Township), opting against reelection to pursue the governor’s office, the 10th Congressional District, which covers southern Macomb County and parts of eastern Oakland County, is up for grabs.
