General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Michigan in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 27, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-three candidates filed to run in Michigan's 13 U.S. House districts, including 28 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That's 4.08 candidates per district, a decade-high, and up from the 3.93 in 2020 and 3.64 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Michigan losing one U.S. House district. The 53 candidates who ran this year were two fewer than in 2020, when 55 candidates ran, and two more than in 2018, when 51 candidates ran.
Two districts — the 10th and the 13th — were open. That was one more than in 2020 and the same number as in 2018.
Rep. Lisa McClain (R), who represented the 10th district, filed to run in the 9th district this year, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D), who represented the 13th district, filed to run in the 12th. Rep. Andy Levin (D), who represented the 9th district, filed to run in the 11th district against incumbent Rep. Haley Stevens (D), making the 11th district the only district where two incumbents ran against each other.
There were four contested Democratic primaries this year, down from seven in 2020 and nine in 2018. There were nine contested Republican primaries, a decade-high. That was up from eight in 2020 and one in 2018.
There were six incumbents in contested primaries, up from four in 2020, and one in 2018. That was also one fewer than the decade-high of seven in 2012.
Five incumbents — three Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. One district — the 4th — was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run in the primary. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census
On March 27, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan approved new state House district boundaries drawn by the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC) for use in the 2024 elections. According to the court order:
| “ | On December 21, 2023, we unanimously held that the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution when it drew the boudaries of thirteen state-legislative districts--seven House districts, and six Senate--predominantly on the basis of race. We therefore enjoined the Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Bension, from holding further elections in those ditricts as they are currently drawn. ... The Commission has now submitted a revised House plan, to which the plaintiffs have submitted several objections. We have reviewed the record before us and now overrule those objections.[6][7] | ” |
The MICRC voted 10-3 on February 28, 2024, to adopt the new state House map known as “Motown Sound FC E1."
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan also struck down the state Senate map on December 21, 2023. The court set a deadline of July 26, 2024, to adopt a new state Senate map for the 2024 elections.
