      <link>https://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2022-07-29/rashida-tlaib-d-mi-faces-three-challengers-in-newly-drawn-district</link>
      <description>Michigan’s re-designed political boundaries left many voters without an incumbent U-S representative. Several members of Congress switched to new districts adjacent to their old ones.That’s the case in the new 12th Congressional District. It includes portions of west Detroit, western Wayne County, Oakland County, Dearborn and Southfield.Democratic candidates in the new 12th are making incumbent Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib their primary target.</description>
