COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – One of the most contentious pollical seasons in Michigan history will cross the finish line on Tuesday.
National figures and local candidates spent the weekend mobilizing supporters in marquee contests that could dictate the balance of power both in Michigan and in Washington.
Headlining the ballot is a fiercely competitive gubernatorial race between Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Republican U.S. Representative John James to succeed term-limited Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Meanwhile, the wide-open U.S. Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers remains a dead heat, drawing intense campaign stops from major party surrogates eager to secure a critical seat.
