Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee backs Marlinga in bid to flip MI-10 • Michigan Advance
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced on Wednesday that it would back former Judge Carl Marlinga in his rematch against sitting U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Twp.).
As Marlinga and James vie for control of Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, the DCCC has added Marlinga to its “Red to Blue” program, pledging organizational and fundraising support as Marlinga seeks to flip James’ seat for Democrats.
Marlinga lost by a slim, 1,600 vote margin in 2022, with the 10th District potentially serving as yet another competitive district as Democrats seek control of the U.S. House.

“Folks here in Macomb and Oakland are dealing with high costs, yet John James is just taking money from special interests and doing their bidding in Washington. I’ve worked for people here in Michigan as a clean water advocate, a prosecutor and a judge, and I’m ready to continue to fight for my community in Congress,” Marlinga said in a statement.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has rated the district as a Republican lean.
