LOCAL & STATE RACES
We are thrilled to announce that many M-PACE-endorsed candidates won their Primary elections, particularly at the local level! Among our endorsed candidates, several hold a BSW or MSW, including
Alyshia Dyer for Washtenaw County Sheriff, Justin Hodge
for Washtenaw County Commissioner District 5, and
Lisa Coney
for Saginaw County Commissioner District 10.
All four M-PACE-endorsed candidates for the Michigan State House won their primaries and will advance to the General Election ballot:
Matt Koleszar
, District 22
Nate Shannon
, District 58
Penelope Tsernoglou
, District 75
Christiana Reynolds
, District 108
Unexpectedly, two Republican incumbents lost their primaries in Districts 50 and 107, ensuring that the winners of these seats in November—whether Democrat or Republican—will be new to the State House.
