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.

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. [14] [15] [16] Further controversy arose from his comments on outsourcing of U.S. jobs, interpreted by some as insensitive. [17] [18] Marino clarified that his aim was to discuss the challenges of job outsourcing, not to endorse the practices described. [19] [20] Democrats had hoped that these recordings would play a major role in his 2016 election bid. Despite the negative campaign, Marino won the election. [21] [20]
