flag Democrats and Republicans battle in Michigan’s May special election for a state Senate seat, with national issues and representation at stake.

flag Democrats are pouring resources into Michigan’s May special election for the 35th state Senate District, covering parts of Midland, Saginaw, and Bay Counties, designating it a key "spotlight" race. flag Democratic nominee Chedrick Greene, a Saginaw fire captain, blames voter concerns on national policies under President Trump, including tariffs and immigration enforcement, and pledges to restore commonsense legislation. flag Republican nominee Jason Tunney, a Saginaw lawyer, emphasizes economic issues and criticizes the year-long vacancy, attributing the delay to Governor Gretchen Whitmer and arguing it left constituents unrepresented. flag Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks warns a Republican win could block Democratic priorities, as the lieutenant governor’s tie-breaking vote only applies in deadlocked chambers. flag The seat will be contested again in November regardless of the May outcome.
