Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

Every Human Being Matters.

Everyone should have equal access to education in America.

Everyone should have equal access to healthcare in America.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

Healthcare, Living Wages, Broadband Access, and Education.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I have always looked up to Martin Luther King Jr. I think Dr. King was brave, and always fought for what he believed was correct, even when people threw bricks in his window, or attacked him. He just held his head up, and kept marching forward.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I think the most important event in my life was seeing my son for the first time. I was 41 years old, I am an older father.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

My first job was at Pet Haven in Sterling Heights, a small pet shop. I was 14 when I got my first job. I remember cleaning the hamster cages, and feeding Mr. Bunny. I stayed there for over a year. We actually discussed politics all the time, it was awhile ago, from what I remember. I remember the owner saying he always thought I would run for office one day.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

It is one of the only institutions in America that you need to be elected to be a part of, you cannot be appointed. Everyone there is there because the people spoke, and wanted that person there.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I personally have never held an elected position, but believe my 15 years as an attorney, and years of owning a small business, give me an unique perspective how to deal with people of all different backgrounds.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I think we need to focus on legislation that will impact and help all people regardless of socioeconomic status, or any other factors in their lives.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

Yes, small business, Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, House Administration, Oversight and Reform, and Natural Resources.

If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I am not.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

Yes

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I love the passion of AOC, and Haley Stevens. I think these two women really have passion to help all people in the United States.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Brian Steven Jaye (D)

I deft. think AOC's story of working as a waitress, running for her first campaign really impacted me. I think her ability to win this race against some very hard opponents.

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

See also: The Cook Political Report's 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+18. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 18 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Michigan's 9th the 62nd most Republican district nationally.^[10]
