Democratic state Sen. Jeremy Moss defeated Republican Troy Mayor Ethan Baker during the overnight hours of November 4 to become Michigan's first openly gay member of Congress, securing 60% of the vote. The victory claims a Democratic-leaning House seat in Oakland County that has transitioned from Republican dominance over the past eight years. Moss will succeed Democratic U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, who departed the seat to run for an unsuccessful U.S. Senate nomination.
