On today’s episode, we take a look at a couple more hotly-contested congressional races in Michigan. In West Michigan, Democrats are fighting hard to flip two districts long held by Republicans. In the 3rd District, which includes the city of Grand Rapids, two political newcomers compete for the seat currently held by Rep. Justin Amash. And in the 6th District, longtime Republican Congressman Fred Upton faces a serious challenger who is putting health care at the center of his campaign. Two reporters following these competitive races catch us up on the candidates and how voters are feeling about them.  You can find Dustin Dwyer’s most recent reporting on the race for the 3rd District here. Lindsay Moore’s latest on the 6th District match-up is here.   Find full episodes of Stateside at our website. Have feedback on our new podcast?
