Moss Set To Succeed Stevens In House After Michigan Primary Win
Jeremy Moss won with 49.5% of the vote as 97% of ballots were counted, outpacing Aisha Farooqi in a district with a large Jewish electorate.
- On Tuesday, Michigan state Sen. Jeremy Moss secured the Democratic nomination for the state's 11th District, winning 49.5% of the vote to replace incumbent Rep. Haley Stevens.
- Located in Oakland County, the 11th District has a high concentration of Jewish residents and includes West Bloomfield's Temple Israel, which was heavily damaged in an attack earlier this year.
- With 97% of ballots counted by Wednesday morning, Moss led with 49.5% of the vote, significantly outpacing pro-Palestinian attorney Aisha Farooqi, who received 31.8%.
- Opponents attempted to link Moss to the lobbying powerhouse AIPAC, whose outsized spending became a focal point in the parallel Senate Democratic primary despite Moss's campaign not centering on Israel.
- Moss's victory, as a Jewish LGBTQ Democrat, illustrated evolving tensions within the Democratic Party regarding Israel-related messaging, building on his previous support for a two-state solution.
