Brenda Jones

A special election for Michigan's 13th congressional district was held on November 6, 2018, following the resignation of Democratic U.S. Representative John Conyers.

The Democratic primary was held on August 7, 2018. No Republican candidate ran in the special election, making the win in the Democratic primary tantamount to election in this district.[1] Both the primary for this election and primary for the regular election were concurrent; similarly, the special election was held the same day as regular election. The winner of the regular Democratic primary was former state Representative Rashida Tlaib, who went on to win the regular general election.

The winner of the special Democratic primary was Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones, who served from November 29, 2018, to January 3, 2019.
