Stevens Defeats Levin In Oakland County Democratic Primary: Reports

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Congresswoman Haley Stevens won the Democratic nomination to vie for the chance to represent most of Oakland County in the U.S. House of Representatives, according to multiple reports.

Stevens, 39, declared victory Tuesday night with more than 70 percent of the vote counted, and U.S. Rep. Andy Levin conceded by phone Tuesday night, according to the Detroit News.

"My friends, it's not a mystery why we beat the odds. We stayed in Congress because we listened. I listened," Stevens said. "Let's continue to do the work of the people, for Oakland County. Let's show this country how we do it. Let's continue to lead on education and say let's continue to make a difference."

Due to redistricting, the contentious Democratic primary featured a unique battle between two very popular Democratic representatives from Oakland County. Stevens will face Republican Mark Ambrose, who was projected to win the Republican Primary for the state's 11th Congressional seat.
