U.S. Rep.-elect Christina Hines (D-Warren), who flipped Michigan's 10th Congressional District, told Michigan Advance that affordability, including healthcare costs, was a top concern for her district's voters. Hines said she would prioritize healthcare in her first term, citing her mother's chronic illness and past Medicaid coverage while Hines was growing up. She said she would work with anyone and review any plan to ensure access to affordable healthcare, and also named big tech and AI regulation as a priority area.
