Battle lines drawn in fight for Michigan House majority: What to know
One of Michigan’s biggest political fights of the year — the battle for control of the state House — is officially underway.
Candidate lists were finalized this week for each 110 House districts, all of which are up for election in November as Democrats seek to defend their narrow, two-seat edge.
Both major parties are targeting swing districts, incumbents are facing primary challenges and term-limit reforms have opened the door for former lawmakers to make another run.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: In 2022, Democrats secured slim majorities in the House and Senate and swept statewide offices for the first time in decades. They worked with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to pass a sweeping legislative agenda.
