Clarke lives in the 13th district, but more of his current Congressional territory lies in the 14th, making it a more favorable seat for his re-election race. He announced in August he would run in the 14th.
Rep. John Conyers (D) lives in the 14th and has not made an official announcement, but Democrats expect him to seek re-election in the 13th district. More of the 24-term Democrat’s district is in the 13th.
Also, Clarke and Peters will probably have company in the 14th district. Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence told Roll Call last week that she plans to run for that seat too.
Rep. Bill Cassidy has his blood drawn by Alesha Barbour during a free hepatitis screening in the Rayburn House Office Building hosted by the Congressional Viral Hepatitis Caucus to recognize "National Viral Hepatitis Testing Day."
Roll Call has launched a new feature, Hill Navigator, to advise congressional staffers and would-be staffers on how to manage workplace issues on Capitol Hill.
