Republican John James, who fell 1.7 percentage points short of unseating Democratic Michigan senator Gary Peters in 2020, has announced that he’s running for the House in 2022:
I fought on the battlefield for American lives and in business for good-paying jobs that fuel livelihoods. I will continue to fight for the hardworking families in Michigan’s 10th district as today I announce my run for Congress. Join me at https://t.co/L2HSYuRU7Y pic.twitter.com/PkqKpwqIWP

Voters in the new tenth congressional district narrowly favored Trump over Biden and Peters over James in 2020:
Interestingly, the new #MI10 that national Rs are trying to convince John James (R) to run in voted for Trump by 0.9% in ’20, but James failed to carry it by 0.7% (’20) and 6.9% (’18) in his two Senate bids.
If a strong D were to run here, it’d be in a more competitive column. pic.twitter.com/RsV94uYMae
