When he resigned, John Conyers endorsed his 27-year-old son, John Conyers III, to succeed him.
The younger Conyers, a partner with a Detroit-based, minority-run hedge fund, posted on Twitter this week that he has not decided whether he wants to run for his father’s old seat. The Associated Press has been unable to reach him for comment.
Conyers III never has been elected to a public post.
His cousin Ian Conyers won a special election in 2016 for the state senate seat. Young was elected in 2010 to the Michigan Senate. He served in the state House from 2005 to 2010.
