What was once one of Michigan’s most visible – and vital – congressional districts has seemingly disappeared from political conversation as politicians, politicos and pollsters wrangle to debate and predetermine the outcome of the U.S. Senate, gubernatorial, and congressional races in the 10th and 7th districts.
