Michigan Parties Battle for Legislative Control

Michigan Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for competitive legislative races this fall. Both parties are targeting critical House and Senate seats to secure control of the state Legislature ahead of Election Day.

State Sen. Mark Huizenga, R-Walker, narrowly won his Kent County seat four years ago by fewer than 400 votes. Now, he faces a candidate Democrats consider to be stronger than his 2022 opponent — and anti-Republican backlash against the policies of GOP President Donald Trump.

Michigan voters will decide 148 legislative seats across the state, with Democrats targeting four Republican-held House seats to flip control of the Legislature. Democrats hold a slim 20-18 majority in the Senate, while Republicans maintain a 58-52 edge in the House. The legislative showdown arrives amid voter frustration over the economy, creating a high-stakes battleground across the United States.
