Michigan
16 seats: 6R, 10D D 53
Even though most Michigan seats could be competitive, in 1996 Debbie Stabenow
was the first Michigan challenger since 1984 to defeat a House incumbent in a general
election. Despite several well-financed challenges, incumbents held
on in 1998, and likely will do so in 2000. Several seats would be competitive if open,
as is true of Stabenow's 8th district.
