The 12th Congressional District includes portions of Oakland and Wayne County. Entrepreneur Steven Elliot is running for this seat as a Republican. He spoke with Detroit Today about his views on immigration, energy and education. The show has also been talking with other Congressional candidates, including Elliott’s opponent, Rashida Tlaib.
