Fox News
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., announced Wednesday that instead of seeking reelection for her state's 13th congressional district, she will run to represent the 12th following a retirement announcement of fellow Democratic Michigander Rep. Brenda Lawrence.
"After much deliberation with my family, residents, and my team, I am excited to announce that I will be running for re-election in what will now by Michigan's 12th Congressional District. The new 12th Congressional District contains nearly two-thirds of the people I currently serve," Tlaib said in a statement posted to Twitter. "I'm excited to continue to fight for our residents and and engage with new neighbors in Wayne and Oakland Counties."
