  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep.

  • Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results
    Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results November 3, 2010 When the Founding Fathers created a bicameral legislative branch of the government, they determined that all members of the lower body—the U.S. House of Representatives—would run for office every two years and that members of the upper chamber—the U.S. Senate—would serve six-year terms with a third of the membership reviewed every two years. The theory was that the House—the “Peoples Chamber”—would reflect current public sentiment while the Senate would be a more deliberative chamber. Or, as later described, the House would be like a hot cup of coffee and the Senate would be the saucer that cools legislation down. That theory of legislative governance was soundly reconfirmed on Tuesday as Republicans won control of the U.S. House of Representatives by a significant margin but fell several seats short of gaining control of the U.S. Senate. With several races still too close to call, Republicans have captured 239 seats to take control of the House for the first time since 2006 and picked up six Senate seats to close the gap to no worse than 53-47 (two races remain undecided). Further solidifying their gains, Republicans won 27 gubernatorial races, including the key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Partially offsetting those losses, Democrats captured gubernatorial races in California and New York. Senate Going into yesterday’s elections, there were 37 Senate races being contested: 19 Democrat-held seats and 18 Republican-held seats. Republicans needed a net gain of 10 to win control but fell short of that goal.
