Advocacy News – Nov. 6, 2024
The 2024 election results are in and here’s what we know (as of 10:30 a.m. Nov. 6):
- Despite state Democrats spending at least $37 million this election cycle, which has been reported as a three to one spending advantage to state Republicans, Michigan Republicans took control of the State House, breaking the current Democratic trifecta. Come January, Republicans will hold 58 of Michigan’s 110 House seats.
- Democrats gained ground on the MI Supreme Court on Tuesday night, holding the court by 6-2 advantage with the re-election of Justice Kyra Bolden and election of Kimberly Ann Thomas.
- Republicans now hold seven congressional seats and Democrats hold six. Republicans picked up a seat in the 7th Congressional District with Tom Barrett prevailing over Curtis Hertel, Jr. and Democrats maintained a competitive seat in the 8th with current State Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet garnering the win after the retirement of longtime rep. Dan Kildee.
- At the time of publishing, the open U.S. seat is still too close to call with Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and former Congressman Mike Rogers at 48.5% to 48.4% of the vote respectively.
What we’re saying: “We look forward to putting the divisive and polarizing November elections behind us and focusing on the work important to our state’s shared future – starting with the impending Lame Duck legislative session.” View the Michigan Chamber’s full statement on the election results.
