Sep 23, 2026

by Liz Gullett

As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Leading up to the November 5 general election, we are highlighting races generally considered swing seats. 

District Overview:

The district includes Grandville, Walker, and portions of Grand Rapids.

Commentary:

Democratic Representative Carol Glanville currently represents this seat but chose to run for the Michigan Senate. In the 2024 presidential election, the district voted 54%-44% for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. While experts believe that the Democratic candidate will win in November, it’s not a sure bet, and both candidates will need to work hard if they want to represent this seat next term.

Democratic Candidate:

    • Khristian Silvis – Veteran, worked for two members of the United States House of Representatives.

Republican Candidate:
