Democrats in Michigan who've enjoyed control of the governor’s office and slim majorities in both chambers of the Legislature for the past year will soon temporarily lose their majority in the House of Representatives
Michigan Democrats who have controlled the governor’s office and slim majorities in both chambers of the Legislature will at least temporarily lose their full control after two state representatives won mayoral races Tuesday, which will soon put the state House in a deadlock.
It's not yet clear when special elections will be held in the two districts — which each heavily favor Democrats — but it's expected to at least be several months. The governor may call a special election in the representative’s district when a seat is vacated, or may direct that the vacancy be filled at the next general election, according to Michigan law. The entire Michigan House of Representatives will be up for election in next year’s November general election.
