EMILY’s List, a national organization focused on electing Democratic pro-choice women, has offered its endorsement to former special victims prosecutor Christina Hines in her bid to claim the open seat in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.
“Christina Hines is an experienced prosecutor who has spent her career fighting for Michigan families and we are thrilled to endorse her in one of the most critical races to take back the U.S. House,” EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler said in a statement. “As chaos continues coming out of Washington, Christina is the best candidate to win in 2026 and take on the reckless Republican agenda that is putting the livelihoods, health care, and freedoms of Michigan’s working families at risk. EMILYs List is committed to helping her flip this seat and deliver real leadership for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.”
While the district is currently held by U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Township), James has opted against seeking reelection, instead launching a bid to be the next governor of Michigan.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report lists Michigan’s 10th Congressional District as “lean Republican” with Democrats viewing the seat as a key target in the effort to retake the U.S. House in 2026.
In addition to Hines, Pontiac Mayor and former state Rep. Tim Greimel, attorney Eric Chung, U.S. Army veteran Alex Hawkins, and U.S. Army and Navy veteran Tripp Adams are also seeking the Democratic nomination in 2026. On the Republican side, Michigan Open Carry Inc. President Casey Armitage is looking to retain the district for Republicans.
