       Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., will no longer serve her hometown of Dearborn once Michigan’s new congressional district map goes into effect, shifting her from the state’s 12th District and leaving her to run to represent a new Sixth District.

       Dingell was emotional when discussing with local FOX 2 how the change means she will be moving on to somewhere new.

       "I’ve lived there with my husband for a long time, but I still have all the people that I love," Dingell said.

Katie Porter, D-Calif., announcing her plans to switch districts after her home city of Irvine was placed in the new coastal 47th District, resulting in Rep.
