2016 election

Anthony G. Forlini, the representative of District 24 did not seek-reelection because of term limit restrictions. Steve Marino, 27 at the time, secured more than 75% (4,991) of the 6,274 votes cast in the August 2 Republican primary election for the position, securing his nomination. [7] His opponent, Dana Camphous-Peterson, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. [8] In the November 8 election, Marino received 23,968 votes (55.07%) while Camphous-Peterson received 19,553 votes (44.93%). [9]

In 2016, Marino faced scrutiny when Michigan Democrats released recordings of him sharing exaggerated stories, including one that raised eyebrows, which he later described as attempts to highlight the peculiarities of Lansing's political scene. [10] [11] [12] Further controversy arose from his comments on outsourcing of U.S. jobs, interpreted by some as insensitive. [13] [14] Marino clarified that his aim was to discuss the challenges of job outsourcing, not to endorse the practices described. [15] [16] Democrats had hoped that these recordings would play a major role in his 2016 election bid. Despite the negative campaign, Marino won the election. [17] [16]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan</span>

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan were held on November 8, 2022, to elect representatives for the thirteen seats in Michigan. The deadline for candidates to file for the August 2 primary was April 19. The congressional makeup prior to the election was seven Democrats and seven Republicans. However, after the 2020 census, Michigan lost one congressional seat. Democrats won a majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. This can be partly attributed to the decrease in the number of districts, which resulted in two Republican incumbents – Bill Huizenga and Fred Upton – in the new 4th district. Redistricting also played a part in shifting partisan lean of the districts which favored the Democrats overall, including in the 3rd district, which Democrats were able to flip with a margin of victory of 13 points. That was made possible by a non-partisan citizens' commission drawing the new political boundaries instead of the Michigan legislature after a 2018 ballot proposal was approved.
