Doh, yes, I forgot to mention Lance’s district.

Nice gain in the 1st, and it was an easy win in the House race, with the weak (why?) Dan Benishek gone we hopefully should not have to worry about that seat anymore.
Nice gain in the 4th, and the 7th, the 10th is insane! 64%!
The 5th was close but held for Shilly, as we previously discussed.
As you may have guessed the GOP margin narrowed in the 11th. Unbeknownst to me, Kerry Benvitolio ran as an indie there, what a jerk. He got around 4%, Trott won easily.
Good thing Kerry B was ousted, can’t have weak candidates.
With redistricting in 2022, the MI GOP should target the 5th and 9th to flip (although I assume the state may lose another seat or two, so that might be rendered moot).
