It's a race that's getting a lot of attention nationally. The district now extends west from grand rapids and includes Muskegon, grand haven, and other lakeshore communities.

And some of the area previously represented by Meyer is now part of the second congressional district. A large area now includes Greenville and Lowell. Republican John Mulliner is hoping to defeat Thomas Norton. Mullinar is used to represent the midland area.
