Former Michigan state lawmaker Rashida Tlaib on Tuesday won the Democratic nomination to run unopposed for a House seat, setting her up to become the first Muslim woman elected to the United States Congress.
No Republicans or third-party candidates ran in Tuesday’s District 13 primary race, meaning Tlaib is set to win the seat in November’s election. She would take the spot held since 1965 by John Conyers, who stepped down in December citing health reasons amid charges of sexual harassment.
