The district, which includes southern Macomb County and part of Rochester Hills, is currently represented by John James, who chose not to seek re-election, opting to run for governor instead.

James has not endorsed anyone in the race, but Bouchard has earned the backing of President Donald Trump.

Bouchard listed his top priorities as adding manufacturing jobs in the district and backing the "Parents’ Bill of Rights," which he says will give moms and dads a say in what their kids are being taught in schools.

Demetropoulos has labeled affordability and government transparency as top priorities, while Kirk says he is poised to grow Michigan's leadership in the automotive and manufacturing sectors.

All three Republican candidates have cited strengthening U.S. national security (Bouchard and Demetropoulos are veterans).

On the Democratic side, all three candidates have cited affordability as a top concern, specifically attacking President Trump's tariffs, which they believe harm the district's manufacturing sector.

The candidates, however, did not outright oppose tariffs.

The candidates also pointed to rising costs in health care, which they all have pledged to expand and make more affordable.
