The 13th Congressional District of Michigan held a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018. The election coincided with the regular 2018 election; the primary took place on August 7, 2018, and the general election occurred on November 6, 2018.[1]
On August 7, Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones won the special Democratic primary to compete in the November 6, 2018, special election for the final months of the 2017-2018 term to which Conyers was elected. No Republican filed for the seat. Jones served in Congress until Conyers' term expired on January 1, 2019.
Former state Rep. Rashida Tlaib won the regularly-scheduled Democratic primary to compete in the November 6, 2018, election for the 2019-2020 term. No Republican filed for the general election either.
The special election and the regularly-scheduled election were held concurrently, and some of the candidates, including Jones and Tlaib, ran in both races.[2] Click here to read about the regularly-scheduled election.
