Who won, who lost, who's up, who's down in Michigan's congressional races

Happy post-Election Day! It took awhile but we finally have a complete rundown on all the winners and what the fall elections for U.S. House seats in Michigan will look like. Here we go:

1st District (Upper Peninsula, northern Lower Peninsula)

This one's easy: Incumbent U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, who lists Watersmeet as his home address, was unopposed in the Republican primary, winning nomination to a fourth term in this predominantly Republican district. On the Democratic side, Bob Lorinser, a doctor in Marquette, also was unopposed.

2nd District (Mid-Michigan, Mount Pleasant west to Lake Michigan)

U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, decided to run in this newly drawn district even though his hometown had been placed in the new 8th Congressional District. He still defeated Tom Norton, a veteran from Kent County making his second run for Congress, in the Republican primary. Moolenaar has the clear edge over Democratic educator Jerry Hilliard, who was unopposed in his primary, in what is a predominantly rural Republican district.

3rd District (Grand Rapids and parts of Kent County, northern Ottawa County, Muskegon)

In what was the major upset of the election, U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Grand Rapids, conceded the Republican primary in this west Michigan district to former Housing and Urban Development official John Gibbs about 2 a.m. Wednesday. It's a big victory not just for Gibbs but for former President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Gibbs and targeted Meijer for defeat for voting to impeach Trump for his role in instigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. But that victory may be short-lived. When the state's independent redistricting commission redrew this district, it made it more Democratic-leaning, meaning the better known and more independent Meijer might have had a better chance in the fall against Democratic lawyer Hillary Scholten of Grand Rapids, who was unopposed in her primary. We'll see.

4th District (southern Ottawa to Benton Harbor, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek)

U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Holland Township, had no opponent in the primary (U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, decided not to run for reelection some months ago after Trump endorsed Huizenga) and has no Democratic opposition in November to what will be his seventh two-year term.

5th District (southern Michigan along Indiana-Ohio line, Jackson, parts of Calhoun County)

U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, of Tipton, running for his eighth term, easily defeated Sherry O'Donnell, a Stevensville doctor, in the Republican primary and faces New Buffalo lawyer Bart Goldberg, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary, in this predominantly Republican district.

6th District (Washtenaw County, parts of western and southern Wayne County)

U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, who has left her longtime home in Dearborn and moved to Ann Arbor to run in this newly drawn district, was unopposed in the Democratic primary in this predominantly Democratic district. She will face Republican Whittney Williams, of Canton, a Taiwanese immigrant who has worked as an auto show product specialist, who defeated Hima Kolanagireddy, of Northville.

7th District (Lansing, East Lansing and surrounding counties including Livingston)

The race in this expected-to-be-a-toss-up district is set, with U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who had lived in Holly but moved to Lansing in May, unopposed in the Democratic primary and state Sen. Tom Barrett, of Charlotte, unopposed in the Republican primary.

8th District (Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland)

U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, of Flint Township, was unopposed in the Democratic primary as he runs for his sixth two-year term. But his new district, with the addition of Midland, may be more competitive than it has been in the past. Paul Junge, who lost to Slotkin as the Republican nominee in a neighboring district in 2020, won the Republican primary, defeating Candice Miller, of Burton, (not former U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, who lives in Harrison Township) and Matthew Seely, of Davison, who runs a steel forging firm.

9th District (the Thumb, northern Macomb and Oakland counties)

U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain, of Bruce Township, with one term under her belt and an endorsement from Trump, easily defeated her opponent, New Baltimore lawyer Michelle Donovan, in the Republican primary. She faces Brian Jaye, a Rochester lawyer, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary and has a large edge in what is a predominantly Republican district.

10th District (southern Macomb County, Rochester, Rochester Hills)

This district was drawn to be competitive, with it leaning Democratic in many recent elections but going for Trump (by about 1 percentage point) in 2020. No incumbent decided to run in it, however. Businessman (and two-time U.S. Senate nominee) John James easily defeated software engineer Tony Marcinkewciz in the Republican primary. On the Democratic side, former Circuit Judge Carl Marlinga defeated a diverse field, which included former county official Rhonda Powell, activist Huwaida Arraf, Warren City Council member Angela Rogensues and Sterling Heights Council member Henry Yanez.

11th District (southeastern Oakland County)

What was once a reliably Republican district that covered parts of Oakland and western Wayne counties, was redrawn to be wholly contained in Oakland County and is now solidly Democratic leaning. Two Democrats living in the district faced off in one of the more brutal primaries we've seen in a congressional race in Michigan for some time, and when the dust settled U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, of Waterford, handily defeated U.S. Rep. Andy Levin, of Bloomfield Township. She has the clear edge in November against Republican winner Mark Ambrose, also of Bloomfield Township, a veteran and financial analyst.

12th District (Detroit's far west side, Southfield, Livonia, Dearborn, western Wayne)

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Detroit, won the Democratic nomination in this predominantly Democratic district, despite having drawn a primary field that included Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey, Lathrup Village Mayor Kelly Garrett and former state Rep. Shanelle Jackson. In the Republican primary, Steven Elliott, a tattoo artist and laser specialist, defeated James Hooper, who worked in the building trades and in overseas religious missions, and businessman Hassan Nehme.

13th District (Most of Detroit, Grosse Pointes, Downriver)

This open seat anchored in Detroit, in what is an overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning district, drew a big crowd in the Democratic primary. Unfortunately, changes in the way votes were being transmitted to the Wayne County clerk led to delays in reporting unofficial results. On Wednesday morning, state Rep. Shri Thanedar, an Indian immigrant, won the primary, beating state Sen. Adam Hollier, 28%-23%, and Focus: HOPE CEO Portia Roberson, with 17%, in what was a nine-person race. Hollier and Roberson conceded Wednesday. Martell Bivings, who worked with the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, was unopposed in the Republican primary, but Thanedar is almost certain to win in November, meaning that Detroit will be without Black representation in Congress for the first time since 1955.
