Michigan 2024 Voter Guide: 10th Congressional District

The general election is on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.

In Michigan’s 10th Congressional District race, Democrat Carl Marlinga is facing Republican incumbent John James, who defeated Marlinga in the last election by only about 1,600 votes — or half of one percentage point. Third party candidates Mike Saliba (Libertarian Party) and Andrea Kirby (Working Class Party) are also on the ballot.

The 10th Congressional District includes the majority of Macomb County, Rochester and Rochester Hills.
