Vice President Kamala Harris is running for president and has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to serve as her vice president. Between them, Harris and Walz have a wealth of executive and legislative experience, and both have demonstrated a firm commitment to protecting our freedoms and fighting for a brighter future for all Americans.
Before serving as vice president, Kamala Harris was California’s Attorney General and served in the U.S. Senate. Tim Walz spent 24 years in the US Military before his professional career as a teacher and coach, before serving six terms in Congress and one full term as governor of Minnesota.
Harris and Walz’s vision for America centers on protecting the rights and freedoms of people across the country and fighting back against the attacks MAGA Republicans have launched on abortion access, LGBTQ+ equality, voting rights, and racial justice. They also aim to foster an economic environment where everyone can thrive, not just corporations and the wealthy, protect our environment from corporate polluters, and enact common-sense gun violence prevention laws to make us all safer.
Harris and Walz have been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: Clean Water Action, Emgage Action, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Education Association, Michigan United Action, MI Poder, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and Sierra Club - Michigan.
Vice President Harris’s opponent in this race is former president Donald Trump, a con man whose time in the White House was characterized by chaos, bigotry, and a focus on taking care of himself and his wealthy friends. Trump has selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance to be his running mate. Vance has limited experience in governing and has followed Trump’s lead in spreading harmful racist, sexist, and anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who has represented Michigan for three terms in Congress as a member of the House of Representatives, is running this year for her first term representing Michigan in the U.S. Senate.
Rep. Slotkin spent much of her career working on national security issues for the federal government. After losing her mother to cancer and witnessing firsthand the way families dealing with a serious illness must also navigate tremendous financial stress, she decided to run for Congress and work toward a more just healthcare system.
In addition to taking on big pharma and insurance companies, Rep. Slotkin’s policy priorities include creating safer communities via gun violence prevention laws, protecting abortion rights, reducing inequality and ensuring all families have what they need to thrive, and defending our democracy and voting rights.
Rep. Slotkin has been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Education Association, Michigan United Action, MI Poder, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Sierra Club - Michigan.
Rep. Slotkin’s opponent is Mike Rogers, a Trump-endorsed candidate who shares many of the former president’s priorities, including harsh, authoritarian immigration and policing policies, criminalizing abortion, and supporting corporations over everyday Americans. Mike Rogers recently moved back to Michigan after living in Florida for years in order to run for the U.S. Senate.

Supreme Court
Supreme Court races can be found on the nonpartisan section of your ballot.
Two seats on the Michigan Supreme Court are up for grabs this year, and we recommend incumbent Justice Kyra Harris Bolden for the partial term and Kimberly Ann Thomas for the full term. Both Justice Bolden and Thomas were nominated by the Michigan Democratic Party. Note: The Michigan Supreme Court race is found on the non-partisan section of the ballot.
Justice Kyra Harris Bolden and Kimberly Ann Thomas have been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Clean Water Action, Equality Michigan Action Network, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Education Association, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Michigan United Action, MI Poder, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, and Service Employees International Union - Michigan.
Kimberly Ann Thomas is a law professor at the University of Michigan Law School, where she directs the Juvenile Justice Clinic, representing low-income individuals who otherwise would not have access to legal support. Her deep commitment to justice is rooted in her career teaching future lawyers about ethical practices and fighting for fairness for all. As a candidate for the Michigan Supreme Court, Thomas brings a dedication to integrity, compassion, and reform, particularly for underserved communities.
Her leadership on the bipartisan Michigan Task Force on Juvenile Justice Reform stands out as a key part of her career. Using a data-driven approach, she championed meaningful reforms to the state’s juvenile justice system, addressing systemic inequities. Kimberly Thomas believes in equal justice and representation for all citizens, regardless of background or financial means. Her experience gives her a vision for a more just Michigan, where everyone has the right to fair representation and access to the courts.
Thomas is running against Andrew Fink, who has a background as Republican state representative and is a candidate aligned with the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, known for backing judges like Amy Coney Barrett and Brett M. Kavanaugh, and the decisions that have led to the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Fink holds extreme views that go beyond reproductive rights. His record includes opposition to marriage equality and protections under the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Fink has also consistently voted against expanding voting rights, including laws aimed at easing voter registration, preventing poll worker intimidation, regulating deceptive political ads, and ensuring election integrity. Fink is endorsed by a huge lineup of Michigan's far-right, conservative lawmakers, including those who pushed conspiracy theories about our elections.
Fink’s stance is sharply contrasted by Thomas, who has fought for inclusive, accessible justice. His resistance to funding measures that would help implement voter-approved amendments expanding early voting and his votes against enhancing the election certification process further illustrate his radical agenda.

Justice Kyra Harris Bolden made history as the first Black woman appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, replacing Bridget Mary McCormack. Justice Bolden is committed to protecting equal justice, expanding access to justice, and upholding the rule of law. In her second year on the court, she has authored three majority opinions, including one unanimous decision. Her approach centers on ensuring that all citizens—regardless of their gender, race, or background—receive fair and equal treatment under the law.
Justice Bolden started her career as a criminal defense and civil litigation attorney before being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, where she served two terms. During her tenure, she championed criminal justice reform and passed five bipartisan bills to protect survivors of sexual violence.
Justice Bolden brings a vital perspective to the Michigan Supreme Court through her diverse life experiences and deep engagement with the criminal justice system. As the first Black woman to serve on the state's highest court, she represents a much-needed voice for communities that have been historically marginalized in the legal system. Her background as a criminal defense attorney, civil litigator, and legislator allows her to understand the complexities of law from multiple angles, particularly the disproportionate impacts of the system on vulnerable populations.
Bolden’s opponent, Patrick William O’Grady is the Michigan Republican Party nominee and is endorsed by Donald Trump, whose choice of justices at the federal level led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. O’Grady is endorsed by far-right, fringe figures such as Ted Nugent and Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College.
Justice Kyra Harris Bolden is the most progressive choice in the race against O’Grady to fill a partial term on the court.

Representative, 32nd District
Jimmie Wilson Jr. is an incumbent Democrat running for the Michigan House of Representatives in the 32nd District. He is the current representative for 32nd District and sits on the Regulatory Reform and Affairs and State Police committees. Wilson is a licensed aircraft mechanic and has been working in public service for many years. He is married with four sons.
Wilson served in a historic legislative session with a Democratic majority that took major strides forward on key progressive issues. The Democratic majority passed the Reproductive Health Act, ensuring all Michiganders can make their own decisions about how and when to start a family, gave Michigan's kids free school breakfast and lunch and additional funds to support our students, and passed common sense gun violence prevention measures. Putting hard-working Michiganders' first, they also quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, got rid of the retirement tax, and got rid of so-called "right to work" anti-worker legislation to ensure workers have bargaining power to stand up to greedy corporations. Wilson also helped expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and codify parts of the Affordable Care Act into law that protect LGBTQ+ Michiganders from discrimination in healthcare, housing, and the workplace.
Wilson believes that housing is a human right. His other top priorities include education, healthcare, public safety and criminal justice reforms, environmental justice, workers rights and unions, economic development, and civil rights for everyone.
Wilson has been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Equality Michigan Action Network, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Education Association, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, Service Employees International Union - Michigan, Sierra Club - Michigan, and We the People - Michigan.
Wilson is running against Republican Martin Church who has pushed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

Wilson is a licensed aircraft mechanic and has been working in public service for many years. He is married with four sons.
Wilson served in a historic legislative session with a Democratic majority that took major strides forward on key progressive issues. The Democratic majority passed the Reproductive Health Act, ensuring all Michiganders can make their own decisions about how and when to start a family, gave Michigan's kids free school breakfast and lunch and additional funds to support our students, and passed common sense gun violence prevention measures. Putting hard-working Michiganders' first, they also quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, got rid of the retirement tax, and got rid of so-called "right to work" anti-worker legislation to ensure workers have bargaining power to stand up to greedy corporations. Wilson also helped expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and codify parts of the Affordable Care Act into law that protect LGBTQ+ Michiganders from discrimination in healthcare, housing, and the workplace.
Wilson believes that housing is a human right. His other top priorities include education, healthcare, public safety and criminal justice reforms, environmental justice, workers rights and unions, economic development, and civil rights for everyone.
Wilson has been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Equality Michigan Action Network, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Education Association, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, Service Employees International Union - Michigan, Sierra Club - Michigan, and We the People - Michigan.
Wilson is running against Republican Martin Church who has pushed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Jimmie Wilson Jr. is the most progressive choice in this race.
