The state’s largest faith is mixing prayer and pragmatism in its fight against the ballot measure, trying to persuade even those who may generally favor abortion that the proposal is ‘extreme.’
Anti-abortion advocates have resorted to ridiculous claims to stoke fears about Prop 3, which permits evidence-based restrictions, but also ensures Michiganders can make their own medical decisions.
Democrats haven’t controlled the Michigan Senate since Ronald Reagan was president. Redistricting makes both chambers more competitive after years of gerrymandering.
As students and schools try to recover from the pandemic, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon have vastly different plans for how to improve Michigan schools and colleges.
Now is not the time to blindly and gullibly vote yes to Proposal 3, but to demand a real law that works for women, children, and families and does not take advantage of them.
A handful of Michigan congressional races could determine the congressional majority. The new 7th District, featuring a race between congressional incumbent Elissa Slotkin and Republican challenger Tom Barrett, is a prime example.
Campaigning for governor, Whitmer laid out a 98-page plan for Michigan. Four years later, she gets passing marks for childcare, education, abortion, failing ones for transparency and the pension tax and an incomplete on roads.
The Republican makes no apologies. How a single mom parlayed debunked election claims to become the Republican nominee for secretary of state of Michigan.
In their first debate, Whitmer and Dixon sparred over abortion, the economy, crime, the roads and COVID. What was true, false and needed a lot more context.
Michigan’s gubernatorial candidates Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon will debate at 7 p.m. Thursday in Grand Rapids. You will be able to watch a live video stream of the debate on this post.
The Democratic governor cites unprecedented investments in public schools during her first term. But her aggressive COVID pandemic policies, including school closures, have fueled conservative attacks on her leadership.
The GOP nominee for governor leans strongly into culture-war issues that are now Republican mainstream, including restrictions on LGBTQ books and critical race theory. Parents, she said, are too often left out of school curriculum decisions.
Counties that voted for Joe Biden for president so far have sought more absentee ballots. But that may be cold comfort for Democrats since Republicans are more likely to vote in person.
