Rep. John Conyers on Tuesday announced his retirement from Congress while at a Michigan hospital, saying he is endorsing his son, John Conyers III, for the seat he has held for more than a half century amid growing sexual-misconduct allegations. The process special election is set by Michigan’s Secretary of State office. Other possible Democrats candidates reportedly include Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, former state House Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and state Sens. Brown reached a confidential settlement with Conyers over sexual harassment allegations, but broke the confidentiality agreement to speak publicly last week. Grubbs says in an affidavit made public that she worked for Conyers in various roles from about 2001 to about 2013.
