Here in the Wolverine State, we’ve seen a remarkable turnaround. In 2016, we had a Republican Governor, Republican Attorney General, Republican Secretary of State, Republican-held Supreme Court, Republican-controlled State House and Republican-controlled State Senate.
Just six years later every one of these became controlled by Democrats.
HOWEVER, our blue trifecta is very much at risk this November!
The state Senate isn’t up for re-election until 2026, nor are the statewide executive offices...but all 110 State House seats are up, and the Michigan GOP is pulling out all the stops to flip control.
I know Michigan Republican Party is a complete disaster lately, but we’re still one of the most important swing states, and the Israel/Hamas war has caused a lot of concerns.
The major party filing deadline passed here in Michigan earlier this week, and very few of the competitive House districts have contested primary races, so I’ve been able to fill in nearly all of the on my MI legislative fundraising page.
All donations go to the candidates/funds listed below; I receive nothing.
In one shot you can donate to one, several or all of the bold-faced candidates listed below (the non-bold names don’t have ActBlue accounts set up yet). I’ve included a handful of non-competitive districts which heavily overlap competitive Congressional districts like MI-07, MI-08 and MI-10:
