WCMU is closely covering the 35th state Senate district special election. The district includes the cities of Saginaw, Bay City and Midland and the greater Tri-Cities metro area of 270,000 residents. The race has the potential to alter the balance of power in Lansing. Control of the state Senate hangs in the balance, with the chamber currently holding a 19-18 Democratic majority.
The election results will determine the makeup of the legislature working with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the final months of her tenure. The race is considered to be a toss-up. Primary elections will be held on Feb. 3, followed by a general election on May 5.
