Michigan
This cycle, Michigan has 3 competitive House races and we must win the Senate race if we are to regain the Senate majority. With Governor Gretchen Whitmer term-limited, Democrats must maintain control over the governorship to protect policies passed under her administration. Democrats also have the opportunity to flip the State House, after narrowly losing control of it in 2024
