MI Status

MI Senate District 19

Michigan's governor announced a special election to fill a vacancy in Senate District 19. This district encompasses all of Calhoun County and most of Jackson County, as well as the cities of Battle Creek and Jackson.

The special election is scheduled for November 3, with primary elections on August 4. The filing deadline for candidates is May 12. To ready why special elections are so important to bikers, click here.

As with other states in the past, we'll contact the MRO in Michigan. If they endorse a candidate we'll do our best to help them. The catch is that Campaign Volunteers are in short supply, with the nearest ones living hundreds of miles away.

We will try to form a partnership with the MRO. With them passing the word at meetings and in the newsletter, we can get more bikers to subscribe to our Email Alerts. Then we can help the candidate they endorse.

We'll post updates as they happen.
