Southwest Michigan seat held by Republican **Bill Huizenga**, who won 2024 by ~12 points and then **passed on the 2026 U.S. Senate race** to defend his House seat. The district leans Republican enough to sit at **Lean** rather than toss-up, though it rounds out Michigan's competitive map alongside MI-07, MI-08, and the open MI-10. **Ratings:** Cook **Lean Republican** (Cook House ratings, Sept 25, 2026). This page previously carried Likely R in the body and Solid R in its frontmatter; the date of Cook's move to Lean was not re-established. ## Outside-money log — FEC Form 24 notices ### Receipt date 2026-10-08 — $1,019,166.76 from [[Fairshake PAC]], all positive On e-file receipt date **2026-10-08** the crypto industry's [[Fairshake PAC]] (FEC committee **C00835959**) filed a single Form 24 notice — file **2018439**, an original (`F24N`) received at **16:08:07** — carrying **$6,115,866.36 across six House races**, every line **supporting** the candidate.
