Christina Hines (D) defeated Michael Bouchard (R) and three other candidates in the general election for Michigan's 10th Congressional District on November 3, 2026.

Incumbent John James (R) ran for governor rather than seeking re-election. James was elected 48.8%–48.3% in 2022 and 51.1%–45.0% in 2024. President Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) 52.2%–45.7% in the 2024 presidential election in the 10th District.

Both the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee targeted the 10th District. As of November 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Tilt Republican, Toss-up, or Lean Democratic.

Hines was a former prosecutor and law professor. Hines' campaign website said, "I know how hard it is to get by - paying for groceries, healthcare, childcare and more - and how important it is that we protect our children and honor our seniors. I refuse to stand idly by while billionaires leave working families like ours in the lurch. I am a Mom on a Mission fighting to lower costs, protect families, and defend our democracy."

Bouchard was a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and at the U.S.-Mexico border. Bouchard's campaign website said, "Now, after nearly a decade in uniform, Mike is stepping up to fight for the communities that built him. Grounded in faith, family, and country, Captain Mike Bouchard represents a new generation of leadership — one that still believes in duty, honor, and discipline."

Minor party, independent, and write-in candidates included Kwabena Nkromo (G), Mike Saliba (L), and Andrea Kirby (Working Class Party).

As of November 2, 2026, Hines had raised $4.16 million and Bouchard had raised $2.88 million.

The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 120th Congress. All 435 U.S. House districts were up for election.

At the time of the election, Republicans had a 219-214 majority with two vacancies in the U.S. House.
