Current Rep – Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing)
2010 Results - Old District (23rd)
Gretchen Whitmer - 49,990
Kyle Haubrich - 28,133
This district is a democrat stronghold, and that did not change. There was some change among the rural portions. It picks up Stockbridge, Mason, Vevay Twp, Bunker Hill Twp, and Leslie City/Township from Joe Hune. It drops Locke Twp, Leroy Twp, Williamston, Williamstown Twp, and Wheatfield Twp to the 24th District and Rick Jones. From a partisan standpoint, there's little change, although this district may be slightly more democrat giving up the Williamston and Webberville areas and taking on Stockbridge and Mason.
I believe Whitmer has one more turn if she wants it, first winning in a 2005 special election to replace Virg Bernero, now the mayor of Lansing. Whitmer has been rumored to make a statewide run. She's an heir of Blue Cross/Blue Shield so she has the money and connections to make a run whether it be governor or AG, although her very left wing record will be an issue. Blue Cross isn't all that popular either. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs against Bill Schuette for AG however, and I think that would be a tough defense right now. I don't expect her to run for Congress after her term is up because of her kids. DC's a big move, and East Lansing is obviously commuting distance to Lansing.
When this opens up, there could be a long line of challengers. Barb Byrum might want her mom's old state senate seat. Mark Meadows is a termed out state rep and former East Lansing mayor. Joan Bauer is a state rep in Lansing with strong support of the social left base. It's been solidly Democrat for years. Whitmer, Bernero, Dianne Byrum, and Debbie Stabenow. This is Stabenow's old seat. It'll probably take a Dan Rostenkowski or Bill Jefferson situation to win here.
