Advocacy News – Sept. 18, 2026
What’s happening: Michigan Chamber members have already gotten direct access to Secretary of State candidate Tony Forlini and Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd through our members-only MI’s Future in Focus series.
These free conversations offered a closer look at each candidate’s background, priorities and approach to the office – while giving members the opportunity to put their own questions directly to the candidates.
Up next: Two Michigan Supreme Court candidates join us later this month:
📅 Monday, Sept. 28 | Noon
Hon. Casandra Morse-Bills + Hon. Michael Warren
Why it matters: Decisions by Michigan’s highest court can reshape the rules employers operate under for years – and recent rulings have underscored just how consequential the Court can be.
- In recent years, the Court has overturned longstanding precedent involving premises liability and minimum wage and paid sick leave laws.
- Just this summer, two major decisions changed longstanding legal protections for regulated businesses and raised broader questions for major infrastructure permitting.
The bottom line: With two seats on the Michigan Supreme Court on the ballot this fall, this is an important opportunity to hear directly from Morse-Bills and Warren about their judicial philosophies and approach to the Court.
Your opportunity: Go beyond the campaign headlines and ads and bring your questions to the conversation.
