Now, somebody needs to step forward as “The Un-Conyers”.
“I am not now, nor have I ever been related to John Conyers in any way!”
They would probably get a lot of support just from that.

Being Black is the only requirement for that seat. Can the candidate read & write? Maybe congress will supply remedial training, eh?

People in MI must be rejoicing: they get to replace one Conyers with another Conyers without really trying!

“Detroit could do so much better.”

Well this is the same party and voting block that reelected a Mayor caught on video smoking crack twice, so I suppose anything is possible.
