My prediction is Peters wins....more $$$ usually tells the tale. Hanson should look for another position to run for--because I think he's got some decent ideas.

If he can come up with more realistic ideas, he could stand a good chance at becoming mayor. His heart is in the right place for it.
Agreed, I think his strength as a politican is articulating a vision and getting people to act, rather than doing the nitty-gritty job of making laws at the federal level.
I'm happy with Hansen Clarke as my congressman, and would gladly vote for him again, but it looks like I've been drawn out of his district.
If I made the rules, I would make political districts blindly with a goal of being as physically compact as possibe. By blindly, I mean use strictly Census data on population. No regard for race, politcal party registration, economics, etc. When you take anything beyond population into account, you open up arguments [[some with merit)- endless arguments- about why certain people should be or should not be grouped together. The average US Congressional district's population is +/- 700K. That's the population of Detroit. Our whole city should be a contiguous district.
