Two candidates were originally slated to face each other in the Democratic primary. They were former actress Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie) and a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, and Linda Keefe.
Gilbert withdrew from the race in May 2016 due to health issues, and at that time Keefe did not appear to have collected enough valid petition signatures to be placed on the ballot.Spangler Todd Gray Kathleen Actress Melissa Gilbert drops out of race for Congress http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2016/05/24/melissa-gilbert-out-race-congress/84877866/ 25 May 2016 Detroit Free Press May 24, 2016

Johnson said that the Office of the Secretary of State would not make a ruling until after the state's August 2 primary.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/07/06/dems-recruit-prosecutor-foe-us-rep-bishop/86735470 Dems recruit prosecutor as foe against U.S. Rep.

On August 2, Gilbert received the most votes in the Democratic primary, receiving 28,810 votes, despite previously announcing her withdrawal from the race. Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Brandon Dillon said the day after that the party would begin the process to remove Gilbert from the November ballot and replace her with Shkreli within 48 hours.http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/08/04/melissa-gilbert-suzanna-shkreli-ballot/88271024 Democrats moving to get Melissa Gilbert off November ballot Wayne Peal Livingston Daily August 4, 2016 August 5, 2016 Bishop's campaign described Gilbert's attempt to be removed from the ballot as unprecedented.
