Tuesday night article:
Veteran Congressman John Conyers easily fended off a primary challenge from Rev. Horace Sheffield, and Debbie Dingell rode to victory in her bid for her husband's 12th Congressional seat, the Detroit News reports.
Dave Trott defeated U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio in Michigan’s 11th House.
In all three closely watched races, there were no real surprises. If any of the races, perhaps Conyers seemed the most questionable.
