Fresh faces, fresh voices, fresh ideas, and more diversity: That's what both the Democrats and the GOP say they are looking for. They are hoping to attract voters in a nation that is becoming more diverse by the day.
One Michigan candidate could certainly move the meter on diversity in Lansing.
Stephanie Chang won the primary in the Michigan 6th House district in southwest Detroit. The Democrat won it by getting nearly 50% of the vote. In that heavily Democratic district, that seems to set her up to win the seat in November and become the first Asian-American woman to serve in the state legislature.
Her district, Chang says, has a legacy of diverse leadership. Its current state representative is Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian American. The district has also elected Latina, Hungarian American and Jewish state representatives.
