As of midnight, the voters of Michigan’s 99th Congressional district will reelect State Rep. Bill Caul, R-Mount Pleasant.

Caul was leading Nancy White 50 percent to 47 percent with 12 of 41 precincts reporting.

White is an associate professor of Finance and Law at Central Michigan University.

Caul’s victory will send him to represent Michigan’s 99th district for the third and final time. The Michigan state constitution limits members of the House of Representatives to three, two-year terms.
