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.

Proven Results TROTT ANNOUNCEMENT OPENS DOOR TO 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE U.S. Rep. Dave Trott (R-Birmingham) announced that he will not seek re-election next year, leading numerous Republicans and Democrats to consider running for this 11th Congressional District seat, which leans Republican but could be up for grabs from either side. The list of potential candidates keeps growing as it appears to be pulling candidates from other races, including Sen. Mike Kowall (R-White Lake) who withdrew from next year’s Secretary of State race on Thursday, amidst speculation that he will seek the 11th Congressional District seat. Democrats Haley Stevens and Fayrouz Saad have also said they are running. Rep. Tim Greimel (D- Auburn Hills) and Dan Haberman, founder and owner of Byte and Mortar Offices in Troy, were also named potential Democratic candidates. Other potential Republican candidates include Troy City Councilmember Ethan Baker, former U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford, Plymouth Township Supervisor Kurt Heise, Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-Troy), Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy), Rep. Michael McCready (R-Bloomfield Hills), and Rep. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake). SCHUETTE ANNOUNCES RUN FOR GOVERNOR Attorney General Bill Schuette announced his campaign for governor last Tuesday, kicking off his race at the Midland County Fairgrounds. Schuette, who said he has “an independent record of accomplishment," promised that if elected, he would cut state income taxes, push Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and bring more and better-paying jobs to Michigan.

  • Michigan 2018 Lame Duck Legislative Session Scorecard -- Dec 21 2018.Pdf
    2018 Michigan Legislative Lame DuckSCORECARD 1 2018 Michigan Legislative Overview ......................................2 Vote Descriptions .........................3 Lame Scorecard: Senate ........................4 DuckSCORECARD Scorecard: House .........................5 The 2018 lame duck legislative session has moved at a record pace. More than 300 bills were introduced since the midterm elections on November 6th. Lame duck sessions are often used by corporate lobbyists and lame duck lawmakers, no longer accountable to their constituents, to push through wildly unpopular legislation in the final days of the year. During the 2012 lame duck session, the Emergency Manager law was reinstated, just weeks after having been struck down by voters at the ballot box. This year’s lame duck legislative session has been the most anti-environment and anti-democracy in Michigan’s history. Clean Water Action has been organizing voters, leading lobby day activities, testifying at committee hearings, hosting rallies and keeping our members up-to-date on the blatant and daily attacks on our water and democracy. The following scorecard tracks some of the worst legislative assaults on our water and democracy. On all bills tracked in this scorecard, the pro-environment and pro-democracy position was to oppose (a No vote) the legislation in question. There have been many bad bills introduced this session, but the following six are the worst of the worst. Brief descriptions of the legislation are below. Each bill has been weighted equally. If a Senator or Representative was absent (A) from the vote in question, that vote does not affect their overall score. In 2019, we will have a new legislature and new state leadership, but some of the elected officials scored below will be returning to Lansing.

  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE March 16, 2018
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE March 16, 2018 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF MARCH 13, 2018 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results SENATE PASSES CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT BILLS A 10-bill package addressing government immunity and the statute of limitations for criminal and civil liability for sexual assault passed the Senate Wednesday. The bills were initiated to address issues brought up by the Larry Nassar scandal. A week of intense lobbying from university, local government, and business groups caused lawmakers to scale back a broader version of this bill, arguing that the proposal could cause an excess of hard-to- defend lawsuits. As passed, the legislation expands a mandatory reporter law to include university coaches and many others, and increases punishments for those who fail to alert authorities of suspected sexual assault of minors. Moreover, the package would retroactively extend the civil statute of limitations to allow lawsuits by minors who were assaulted at any point since 1997. Victims would have a one-year window to file claims against individuals or institutions that harmed them, and the package would also limit claims of governmental immunity by institutions like MSU. The original legislation would have allowed those abused after January 1, 1993, with no age restriction. The 1997 date matches the first accusation against Nassar being reported to Michigan State University officials. Local units of government, schools, insurance companies, universities, and the Catholic Conference all voiced their concern about the speed of the process and any unintended consequences that would impact them from the original legislation, separate from MSU.
