2018 Michigan State Senate Race September 2017 This is a preliminary report on the 2018 Michigan State Senate races. It includes filed and prospective candidates from each of the 38 Senate districts along with district maps and current Senators. The information in this document is taken from multiple sources. Updates will be made as Senate races progress. If you have any questions or comments please contact us at Public Affairs Associates. 1 1st District Current Senator: Coleman A. Young, Jr. (D-Detroit), (term-limited) Filed: Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) Nicholas Rivera (D), Admissions Counselor at Wayne State University Prospective: Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) Former Rep. Alberta Tinsley-Talabi (D-Detroit) Former Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit). Rep. Tlaib’s run is a possibility, but with Chang in the race it’s questionable. Rico Razo, Mayor Mike Duggan’s re-election campaign manager Denis Boismier, Gibraltar City Council President. Although Boismier is running for Gibraltar mayor this year, he may possibly join the race if the field becomes heavily saturated with Detroit candidates. 2 2nd District Current Senator: Bert Johnson (D-Highland Park), (term-limited) Filed: Tommy Campbell (D-Grosse Pointe) Rep. Brian Banks (D-Harper Woods) Adam Hollier, former aide to Sen. Johnson Prospective: Former Rep. Lamar Lemmons (D-Detroit) Former Rep.

John Stewart Sean Brosnan, husband to Livonia City Council member Maureen Miller Brosnan Briand Meakin (R), Livonia City Council Rep. Laura Cox (R-Livonia) Rep. Cox seems to have had the nomination set, but with the recent announcement of U.S. Congressman David Trott’s retirement, she is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. House. Further, some suspect she might be picked as Bill Schuette’s running mate should he win the GOP gubernatorial nomination. If either pull her from the State Senate race, both former Rep. John Pastor and former Plymouth Township Supervisor, Shannon Price, are possible replacements. 8 8th District Current Senator: Jack Brandenburg (R-Harrison Twp.), (term- limited) Filed: Rep.

Aric Nesbitt (R-Lawton), current Michigan Lottery Director Bob Genetski (R-Saugatuck), current Allegan County Clerk The speculation over U.S. Congressman Fred Upton’s consideration of a U.S. Senate candidacy may impact this race as Nesbitt is widely believed to favor a run for the U.S. House over the State Senate.

  • Smarter on Crime, Better for Communities

    Smarter on Crime, Better for Communities

    SMARTER on crime BETTER for communities Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Speaker Lee Chatfield are joined today by a bipartisan group of seventeen Michigan Senators and Representatives sponsoring bills based on recommendations from the Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration. The package aims to focus jail use and related taxpayer costs and collateral consequences on cases that involve a danger to the public. The bills address decision points throughout the justice system that contribute to Michigan’s county jail populations, balancing the goals of protecting the public and safeguarding the rights of all people. The Task Force found that Michigan’s jail population had tripled in just 35 years, that most admissions were for misdemeanors and low-level offenses, and that changes to state law could safely reduce jail populations, protect and support crime victims, and prioritize law enforcement and judicial resources for immediate threats to public safety. The bills in this package: ▶▶Eliminate driver’s license suspension ▶▶Prioritize alternatives to jail when as a penalty for offenses unrelated sentencing people for low-level to dangerous driving. offenses. Driving with a suspended license was the While most people pass through jail quickly, third most common reason for jail admission those who stay longer than a month take in Michigan. Driver’s licenses can be up the majority of jail bed space and are suspended for a wide variety of offenses, often serving a criminal sentence. Unless even violations unrelated to driving. In 2018, necessary, low-level offenses should be nearly 358,000 licenses were suspended for sentenced to jail alternatives, and many failure to appear in court or failure to pay mandatory minimum jail sentences should court fines and fees.

    Sen. Levin Secure Against Any Republican in 2014

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 19, 2012 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Sen. Levin secure against any Republican in 2014 Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's latest Michigan poll finds Democratic Senator Carl Levin sitting pretty with a net +11 point approval rating 46/35. While that number is very solid; Junior Senator Debbie Stabenow has even higher approval: 55/36. Relatively prominent Republicans in the State had poor name recognition among voters. U.S. Reps Justin Amash and Mike Rogers were seen as more unfavorable than favorable, 11/17 and 17/18 respectively. In both cases, over 65% of respondents had no opinion either way, which suggests familiarity is the issue, not necessarily favorability. Rep Candice Miller was the only Republican polled to receive a net positive favorability 34/23. Only 15% of voters knew State Sen. Roger Kahn well enough to have an opinion about him. State Attorney General Bill Schuette has a slight disapproval of 18/22, with 60% not sure. In hypothetical head-to-heads for the 2014 Senate seat, Carl Levin dominated against any potential Republican opponent. Poor name recognition is a clear factor: Candice Miller had the highest name recognition of all the Republicans polled; and she fared the best against Levin, 52/34. Amash performed second-best, 53/32. Kahn and Schuette each trail Levin by 22 points, 53/31 and 54/32 respectively. Rogers performed the worst-55/31. Michigan voters approve of the job President Obama is doing 53/44.
