Description | Rep. John D. Dingell defeated fellow Democratic Rep. Lynn N. Rivers last night in a contest to represent Michigan's newly-redrawn 15th District that exposed fault lines in their party.
Thrown together when state Republicans redrew congressional lines to compensate for losing a House seat, their primary race came to represent a broader ideological battle. While the 76-year-old Dingell has dominated inside-the-Beltway politics for years as the House's longest-serving member, Rivers, 45, chipped away at his base by emphasizing her more liberal credentials. |
