Incumbents - VACANT - Thad McCotter (R-Livonia) resigned.
Years in office as of 2012 election -12 (McCotter)
The old 11th district information is here
CHALLENGERS - Kerry Bentivolio (R-Milford) and Syed Taj (D-Canton)
UPDATE - 5-1-2012: Two challengers have filed. William Robers in Redford despite it no longer being in the district. Syed Taj is running as well and he's in the Canton area.
Update - 5-16-2012 - McCotter has a primary as well. Bentivolio is a activist in West Oakland who ran for state senate in 2010.
Update - 6-7-2012 - McCotter is off the ballot due to insufficient ballot petitions. Nancy Cassis is running as a write-in. She'll have to get past Bentivolio who is on the ballot.
Update - 7-22-2012 - It's a giant clustermuck. McCotter resigned. The August primary will decide the nominee for the November general election. A September special primary will be held to replace McCotter in the OLD district. In November we will have the normal and special general elections. One is for a two month term in lame duck. The other for the regular two year term. Click on the MI-11 label to see the latest.
Update 8-30-2012 - In the new MI-11, Bentivolio will face Taj.
This district changed a bit. McCotter was likely on borrowed time with the old district. That is no longer the case. McCotter drops most of his blue sinks. Redford, Wayne, Westland, Garden City, and his portion of Dearborn Heights goes to Hansen Clarke. Van Buren Township and Belleville go to John Dingell. McCotter keeps the rest of his territory and picks up part of the old 9th district, including the rest of Waterford, Farmington, the NW part of West Bloomfield, Lake Angeles, Auburn Hills, Southwestern part of Rochester Hills, Most of Clawson, Birmingham, and Bloomfield Hills. This district is somewhat similar to the old 11th district during the 1990's.
By dropping Redford and Westland, McCotter wins not just by red/blue numbers, but Glenn Anderson and Andy Dillon are in different districts. That was likely his strongest potential opposition. Dian Slavens, Tim Melton, and maybe Lisa Brown (depending on where in West Bloomfield she lives) could provide a challenge. If McCotter makes a serious run for president and does not run for re-election, Marty Knollenberg will likely run.
The old district had an approximate 18000 vote spread for Bush and a 33000 vote spread for Obama. The new district gives Bush a 45000 vote spread and Obama an approximate 8000 vote spread. Dropping the blue sinks (and 30000+ dem vote spreads) do wonders for a district. McCotter in 08 won with about 52% counting 3rd party votes. He won by about 20000 votes overall. In the portion he still represents, there is about a 42000 vote spread.
