Michigan
For the first time in 40 years, in 2022, Democrats took control of the Governor’s seat, the Attorney General’s seat, and both legislative chambers. This allowed the passage of major legislation furthering abortion rights, climate change policy, LGBTQ+ equality, education funding, voting rights, gun reforms, and labor rights. We must win Michigan if we are to hold on to the Senate majority and there are opportunities to make gains in the House as well.
