What is next for Detroit’s 13th congressional district, now that John Conyers has exited the seat?
Gov. Snyder is expected to schedule a special election.
Without it, the office would be vacant for a year.
If no Republican runs in this heavily democratic district, the special election could be limited to a winner take-all Democratic free for all.
Who will run?
The possibilities include John Conyers the 3rd, endorsed by his father…
Ian Conyers, a great-nephew who is a state senator…
Detroit council-woman Brenda Jones…
former state rep Rashida Talaib…
and state senator Coleman Young the 2nd.
Michael Gilmore, a political newcomer, is already a candidate.
