Between redistricting and incumbents forgoing reelection, four congressional seats in Michigan were key targets as the parties vied for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Republicans sought to flip two open congressional seats in central Michigan as the GOP tries to broaden its majority.

Michigan Republicans are poised to win control of the state House, ending two years of a Democratic trifecta. Going into the election, Democrats held a thin 56-54 House majority – meaning Republicans only had to flip two seats to shift party control.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell was elected to a sixth term in Congress, defeating a challenge by Republican Heather Smiley of Riverview.
