Michigan Live Election Results: 11th Congressional District - Haley Stevens projected winner

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - Following an unusual primary race that featured incumbent Democrat vs. incumbent Democrat in the 2022 Primary Haley Stevens is being projected as the winner of the 11th district - after she jumped out to a huge lead in the race.

With 40% of the votes counted, Stevens had 86,297 votes for 63% compared to Ambrose's 50,727, or 37%.

Stevens beat Andy Levin in August for the newly drawn 11th district. The result of the new lines merged part of Levin's original district, which was the 9th, and part of Stevens' district, which was the 11th district.
