Carl Marlinga Wins Democratic Primary Rematch

Carl Marlinga has emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, setting up a rematch against incumbent Republican Rep. John James in November. Marlinga, a former judge and prosecutor, defeated Diane Young, Emily Busch, and Tiffany Tilley, securing his position with a significant portion of the vote. This district, which includes parts of Macomb and Oakland counties, is considered a Republican-leaning tossup. The 2022 race between Marlinga and James was incredibly close, with James winning by just 1,600 votes. Marlinga's campaign emphasizes his extensive judicial and prosecutorial experience and focuses on job creation in advanced technologies and protecting the Great Lakes. James, running unopposed in the Republican primary, has recently renewed his endorsement of Donald Trump despite previous criticism.
