Proven Results TROTT ANNOUNCEMENT OPENS DOOR TO 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE U.S. Rep. Dave Trott (R-Birmingham) announced that he will not seek re-election next year, leading numerous Republicans and Democrats to consider running for this 11th Congressional District seat, which leans Republican but could be up for grabs from either side. The list of potential candidates keeps growing as it appears to be pulling candidates from other races, including Sen. Mike Kowall (R-White Lake) who withdrew from next year’s Secretary of State race on Thursday, amidst speculation that he will seek the 11th Congressional District seat. Democrats Haley Stevens and Fayrouz Saad have also said they are running. Rep. Tim Greimel (D- Auburn Hills) and Dan Haberman, founder and owner of Byte and Mortar Offices in Troy, were also named potential Democratic candidates. Other potential Republican candidates include Troy City Councilmember Ethan Baker, former U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford, Plymouth Township Supervisor Kurt Heise, Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-Troy), Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy), Rep. Michael McCready (R-Bloomfield Hills), and Rep. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake).
