8. It's no coincidence better maps...Democratic win...4 decades

As livid as democrats in other states may be those maps were a hard fought battle. It was a combination of good leadership and a willingness to fight till it was done. I hate that I lost the representation of Mr. Kildee but he’s still in government which is good and great for Mid-Michigan.

Let Michigan stand as an example of what can be done.
