Michigan DEM House -no more. Now it's TIED. [View all]

Michigan House will no longer be controlled by Dems, as TWO sitting state reps won their Mayoral races yesterday.

State Rep Lori Stone won her election Warren yesterday. Stone, 43, won Tuesday's general election with 11,876 votes, inching past city Human Resources Director George Dimas, who garnered 10,488 votes, according to unofficial results posted on the city's website.

Stone's win will shake up the state legislature, too. Stone was one of two Democratic state representatives vying for a mayoral seat in their respective cities. The other was in Westland, where Rep. Kevin Coleman won the mayor's seat there, according to unofficial results in Tuesday's election.

That will leave the Democratic-majority House temporarily split with 54 Democrats and 54 Republicans once they are sworn into their new roles.
