Joseph Alfonso (D)
I make sure to meet you halfway. Never letting you do all the work, while I sit back.
I can bring everyone to the table and keep a level head to advance the policies that are important to our community. Starting with ones we all agree on first.
Curtis Clark (U.S. Taxpayers)
Less big government
Promoter of local business growth vs corporate Globalist's.
Lorence Wenke (L)
The Federal Government must stop printing money that causes our nation to have debt for years to come.
Our nation needs to focus on reducing crime, economic losses to China, climate change and the cost of medical care.
Joseph Alfonso (D)
Working with state officials to create better safeguards for our waterways, such as, ensuring polluters cover damage control while we monitor those efforts.
Improving career access, not just jobs, so that people can find fields where they feel accomplished.
Providing better services to our rural communities that get overlooked for career training, better water access, broadband capabilities and public utility. And to support our farmers by updating, and fully enforcing, antitrust laws so they can grow their crops competitively.
Fiscally responsible efforts that cut spending on expenditures that continue to accrue new cost. Then, refocusing on the communities that have been forgotten or neglected.
Improving our immigration system by working with surrounding neighbor countries to better organize people looking to migrate to here. This also includes making a change to the visa numbers allocated to countries that have lower request for from and placing those available numbers to countries that actually have people that want them.
Making sure equal rights and people's rights are being respected. The people shape government, government does not shape the people.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Michigan in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 27, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-three candidates filed to run in Michigan's 13 U.S. House districts, including 28 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That's 4.08 candidates per district, a decade-high, and up from the 3.93 in 2020 and 3.64 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Michigan losing one U.S. House district. The 53 candidates who ran this year were two fewer than in 2020, when 55 candidates ran, and two more than in 2018, when 51 candidates ran.
Two districts — the 10th and the 13th — were open. That was one more than in 2020 and the same number as in 2018.
Rep. Lisa McClain (R), who represented the 10th district, filed to run in the 9th district this year, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D), who represented the 13th district, filed to run in the 12th. Rep. Andy Levin (D), who represented the 9th district, filed to run in the 11th district against incumbent Rep. Haley Stevens (D), making the 11th district the only district where two incumbents ran against each other.
There were four contested Democratic primaries this year, down from seven in 2020 and nine in 2018. There were nine contested Republican primaries, a decade-high. That was up from eight in 2020 and one in 2018.
There were six incumbents in contested primaries, up from four in 2020, and one in 2018. That was also one fewer than the decade-high of seven in 2012.
Five incumbents — three Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. One district — the 4th — was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run in the primary. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+5. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 5 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Michigan's 4th the 192nd most Republican district nationally.[10]
2020 presidential election results
