Speaking of Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow , those following closely the race for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Gary Peters (D-Michigan)), who is retiring next year, may have been given in mid-October a sneak peak of one issue likely to be tossed around once the two candidates have cleared phase one of their campaigns. NBC News did an interview with both candidates and picked up on McMorrow’s campaign theme for diversifying business in Michigan, in which she touts th

Here’s a question we are hearing on a regular basis nowadays. Michigan U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D) seems to be everywhere lately, or as writers from Politico Playbook said, she grabbed the spotlight as the Democrat’s person to give the party response to Donald Trump after the joint session of Congress early this year and she never left the limelight. She has been active legislatively of late but is also traversing the country attempting to figure out how to rebuild the

He’s an Army captain and a paratrooper. His dad was a state senator, has been the revered Oakland County Sheriff since 1999, and was a candidate who had two failed statewide campaigns, one for senator (2006), losing to Senator Debbie Stabenow , the other for governor (2010), losing in the primary to Rick Snyder , so Michael Bouchard , the son, presumably understands the gamble. His latest move is one that definitely carries a lot of risk – announcing a run for Congress, 10th

The invisible step-child of 2026’s election fundraising are for the open secretary of state and attorney general posts. Wildly less glamorous than senator, governor and numerous congressional races, which are decided by primary voters on August 4, 2026, both the Republican and Democratic candidates for secretary of state and attorney general are chosen by delegates at their state conventions: March 28, for the GOP, and April 19 for Dems. That is not stopping candidates runnin

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald looks to be heading up all Democrat hopefuls seeking the party nomination for Michigan Attorney General at the party convention next year if campaign funding is any indication. From the campaign report filings at the end of October we learn that McDonald raised some $840,000 and transferred $100,000 from her county prosecutor committee, while Democrat Eli Savit , the Washtenaw County Prosecutor who early on had clerked for Supreme Co

We called it back in October, and can now confirm that state Rep. Jason Hoskins (D-Southfield, Lathrup Village, Farmington, Farmington Hills) has announced his run for the state senate seat that Jeremy Moss (D) is vacating to run for Congress in the 11th District, pledging to bring experienced, results-driven leadership to Lansing at a time when Michigan faces major economic and social challenges. “I’m running for state Senate because our district deserves an experienced le

New York Magazin e set out – with the help of over 30 media and campaign strategists, polling experts and other political insiders from around the country – to identify nationally the 25 “most promising” young people to rebuild the Democratic Party, and three of those included U.S. Senate candidates from Michigan – Abdul El-Sayed , state Senator Mallory MicMorrow and U.S. Representative Haley Stevens . In fact, they billed the race involving the trio as the “Millennial Smac

State Senator Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak, Birmingham, Detroit), who is running for the Democratic nod for U.S. Senator, is the darling of Instagram and MSNBC, where she asserts she is “closer to the ground” and Michigan constituents than her fellow candidates, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Oakland County) and former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed . “We have to meet people where they are, not expect them to come to us,” McMorrow said to political commentator

In the “don’t believe what your eyes tell you” category, as AI becomes more prevalent, political candidates are turning to artificial intelligence to craft their own narratives, even if they are blatantly false. Birmingham attorney Kevin Kijewski , who is running for the GOP nomination for attorney general, must have thought he’d gain an upper hand with the MAGA base when he posted a very false video of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on social media, allegin

The open 11th District congressional seat, created when current Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Oakland County) announced she was running for the open U.S. Senate seat that developed when Senator Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Township) announced his retirement, is getting busier. While rumors have swirled for months (often self-generated) that Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chair Dave Woodward would jump into the Democratic primary for the seat, it’s looking less and les
