Pence spoke Monday afternoon at an event in Oakland County for U.S. Rep. Mike Bishop, who is facing a challenge from Democrat Elissa Slotkin, and Lena Epstein, who is running against Democrat Haley Stevens for an open congressional seat.

The two races are competitive and are expected to help determine which party controls the House .

Former Vice President Joe Biden will campaign Thursday in Lansing with Slotkin, Stabenow and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gretchen Whitmer.
