  • Analysis of 2016 General Election
    Analysis of 2016 General Election On Tuesday, November 8, voters cast their ballot to decide a number of national, state, and local races and issues. While the results are in, the work needed to create a better society is not finished. It is important that we each seek to heal divisions, pray for elected officials, and engage with them about issues facing our nation, state, and local communities. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), congratulated President-Elect Donald Trump and others who were chosen by the American people on November 8th. He also issued a statement calling for all to work for the common good. The following analysis provides an overview of the results in the race for President, the U.S. House of Representatives, the State House of Representatives, the Michigan Supreme Court, and the State Board of Education. The Michigan State University Board of Trustees, University of Michigan Regents, and the Wayne State University Governors are also included as they are decided by voters at the statewide ballot. This piece will also take a look at the political landscape in Michigan going forward. Trump/Pence Win 75 of Michigan’s 83 Counties At the end of the night and early into the hours of Wednesday, November 9, Michigan proved to be a battleground state in the presidential election, defying polls that suggested Hillary Clinton had a significant lead. In fact, the Detroit Free Press mistakenly called Michigan for Secretary Clinton as early as 9 pm. Unofficial results from the Michigan Secretary of State show that Donald Trump narrowly won Michigan with a total of 2,277,914 votes out of 4,785,223 (47.60%) compared to Clinton’s 2,264,807 (47.33%).

  • House of Representatives 98Th Legislature REGULAR SESSION of 2015
    No. 1 STATE OF MICHIGAN JOURNAL OF THE House of Representatives 98th Legislature REGULAR SESSION OF 2015 House Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, January 14, 2015. 12:00 Noon. Pursuant to the requirements of the Constitution, the Representatives-elect to the House of Representatives of the State of Michigan for the years 2015 and 2016, assembled in Representative Hall in the Capitol at Lansing on the second Wednesday in January, the 14th of January, 2015 at 12:00 o’clock noon, and in accordance with law, were called to order by Gary L. Randall, Clerk of the preceding House. Rep. Ed McBroom, from the 108th District, offered the following invocation: “Dear Father, I come before You today, with this assembly, to ask for Your mercy. Too often, it is correct to say we have forgotten You. Please have mercy on the members of this house and the people of our state. We have all failed to recognize Your claim for our complete and total worship. We have taken for granted the amazing blessings You have long bestowed on us as if we ourselves had created the bounty of the earth, the blessings of babies, the joys of living, and the honor of age. We have assumed to ourselves the credit for our successes and the benefits of our work all while ignoring or even repudiating the fruits of our sins. The terrors and sorrows all of our society experiences we dismiss as having no connection to our own failure to acknowledge You. Yet You have well described our human state so well in the scriptures: ‘God is not mocked.

  • 2020 Post-Election Recap and Outlook
    2020 Post-Election Recap and Outlook Please click here for complete election results from the Michigan Secretary of State. Summary: As with many other states in the 2020 election, Michigan’s results were closer than expected and resulted in narrow victories for top-of-the ticket Democratic candidates. However, Republicans were able to maintain their legislative majority in the state House of Representatives, and kept several contested Congressional seats. Michigan’s state government remains closely divided, like the federal government in Washington, D.C. Background: Following strong Democratic statewide gains in 2018 and based on polling trends, Democrats were expected to succeed in Michigan in 2020. Presidential candidate Joe Biden saw Michigan – along with Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – as key to rebuilding the traditional Midwestern “blue wall” in the Electoral College. Biden had enjoyed consistent polling leads of between 5 and 10% leading up to the election. Democrats also hoped to “flip” the state House of Representatives to control one of the state legislative bodies for the first time since 2010, and give Governor Whitmer a governing partner. They only needed to flip four seats to do so, and were targeting several strong opportunities in suburban Oakland and Kalamazoo counties with the help of large campaign funds raised. For the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats were targeting two seats for potential pickups: the third district around Grand Rapids held by outgoing Rep. Justin Amash (now a Libertarian), and the sixth district in Kalamazoo and SW Michigan held by longtime moderate Republican Rep. Fred Upton. On the other hand, first-term U.S.
