MI-07: Republican narrowly leads in race for Slotkin's Michigan House seat

[RandySF]

Republican Tom Barrett is narrowly leading Democrat Curtis Hertel in the race to replace Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) in the House, according to a new poll.

A survey from Emerson College Polling and The Hill found Barrett edging out Hertel in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District at 47 percent to 45 percent, with close to 7 percent undecided.

Because the poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.2 percentage points, the two candidates— both of whom are former state senators — are effectively tied.

Slotkin opted against running for reelection in her district, which includes Lansing and is situated between Grand Rapids and Detroit, to run for the Senate seat left open by retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).
