Cynthia Kallgren will face longtime U.S. Rep. John Dingell in the Nov. 6 general election.
With late-night numbers too close to call on the Aug. 7 primaries, unofficial results from the Michigan Secretary of State Wednesday morning are giving the Republican bid for the 12th District U.S. House of Representatives seat to Trenton businesswoman Cynthia Kallgren.

Those three issues are what 25-year-old Daniel Marcin said separates him from U.S. Rep. John Dingell, who he is hoping to unseat in the Aug. 7 Democratic primary in the 12th Congressional district.
