Troy voters will choose among five candidates for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District seat Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Republican Ethan Baker, Democrat Jeremy Moss, Libertarian Farid Ishac, Green Party candidate Ryan Teasdale and Anil Kumar, listed with no party affiliation, appear on the Oakland County Clerk’s official candidate list.

Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens is not seeking reelection to the House after pursuing an unsuccessful U.S. Senate bid, The Advocate reported. She continues to serve in Congress.

The seat carries a two-year term and represents Troy and other Oakland County communities. The Oakland County Times published video interviews with Baker, Moss and Ishac on Oct. 16.

Baker: Troy’s mayor pitches bipartisan approach

Baker, an attorney, was elected to the Troy City Council in 2015 and became mayor in 2019, according to his campaign biography.

He also serves as a U.S. commissioner and vice chair of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.

On his campaign website, Baker said he is running because “on a human level, it is not healthy for us to be this divided.”

In a written response to The Advocate, Baker said he supports increasing housing supply, expanding workforce training, lowering prescription drug costs and protecting coverage for people with preexisting conditions. He did not identify a specific disagreement with President Donald Trump, the publication reported.

Moss: State senator seeks congressional seat

Moss, president pro tempore of the Michigan Senate, won the Democratic primary in August, CBS Detroit reported.

He served in the Michigan House from 2015 through 2018 and on the Southfield City Council from 2011 through 2014, according to the Michigan Manual.

Moss would become Michigan’s first openly gay member of Congress if elected, The Advocate reported.

His campaign priorities include lowering household and health care costs and providing a congressional check on the Trump administration. He has endorsements from the Michigan AFL-CIO and AFSCME Michigan.

“We need a stronger, bolder, tougher Democratic Party, one that does not show up to the knife fight carrying a pie chart,” Moss told The Advocate.

Three more candidates round out the ballot

Ishac, of Waterford Township, identified reducing government fraud and waste as his top priority in a Farmington Focus candidate questionnaire. He cited his automotive engineering career and experience managing property and operating businesses.

Teasdale is the Green Party’s nominee.

Kumar describes himself as a physician and educator in his campaign biography. His campaign website highlights his service on Wayne State University’s Board of Governors and says he will put constituents above party politics.

Decision Desk HQ’s forecast, updated Oct. 16, rated the district “Safe Democratic.”
