DETROIT — John Conyers III is officially launching another campaign for Congress on Monday, running for his father's old seat in the U.S. House representing Michigan's 13th District.
Conyers, 31, joins a crowded field of nine or more candidates in the Democratic primary competing for the open seat in the new district, which covers most of Detroit, Hamtramck, the Grosse Pointes and Downriver communities.
"I have seen the economic injustices faced by the people of Detroit my entire life, and I strongly believe we need the same social justice advocacy that my father provided during his time in elected office," Conyers said in a statement.
