2022 Michigan regular and special election results:
Democrat flips seat in GOP stronghold
The state of Michigan held its
regular election Tuesday to decide
local millages and bond proposals,
municipal office seats and four special
state House of Representatives races.
Those elected to the House will fill
vacancies left by former Michigan
House
representatives
and
serve
partial terms expiring on Jan. 1, 2023.
In a historic win, Democrat Carol
Glanville defeated Republican Robert
Regan and write-in candidate Mike
Milanowski Jr. in Michigan’s 74th
House District, a seat that had been
held by Republicans since 1993.
According
to
unofficial
results,
Glanville received 52% of the votes
over Regan’s share of 40% in a district
that former president Donald Trump
won by 16 percentage points in 2020.
The seat was vacated when state
Sen. Mark Huizenga, R-Walker,
was elected to Michigan’s 28th
Senate District in Kent County last
November.
Regan made national headlines
in March for making controversial
comments about rape and the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. Regan’s
comments
drew
condemnation
from GOP members such as Ron
Weiser, a University of Michigan
regent and Michigan Republican
Party chairman. Despite this, Regan
was still favored to win in the 74th
District, making Glanville’s win an
upset victory.
According
to
her
campaign
website, Glanville currently works
as a Walker city commissioner and
previously worked as a teacher and
administrator. Following the results
of the election, Glanville expressed
her thanks to West Michigan voters
in a May 3 tweet.
“West Michigan values of integrity,
decency, and care for the common
good won tonight,” Glanville wrote.
“The people of the 74th District have
spoken, and I hear you. We are united
in fundamental ways, and I will take
our values and concerns to the Capitol
to affect positive change.”
Democrat
Jeffrey
Pepper,
a
Dearborn-based attorney, won in the
15th District over Republican Ginger
Shearer, per unofficial results. Pepper
will fill the vacancy left by former
state Rep. Abdullah Hammoud,
D-Dearborn, who left the position
at the beginning of 2022 after being
elected mayor of Dearborn.
Republican
Terence
Mekoski
defeated Democrat James Diez in the
36th District. The seat was vacated
when state Sen. Doug Wozniak,
R-Shelby Charter Township, won the
state Senate race for the 8th District in
Macomb County in November 2021.
In the 43rd District, Republican
Mike Harris beat out Democrat
Kent Douglas by nearly 2,000 votes.
Harris will replace the late state Rep.
Andrea Schroeder, R-Independence
Township, who passed away due to
stomach cancer in October 2021.
Only one election occurred in
Washtenaw County on Tuesday.
Residents of Ypsilanti Community
Schools voted “yes” on a millage rate
proposal to levy a millage rate of no
more than 18 mills for the next decade
and increase the rate by 0.5 mills each
year over the next 11 years. Millage
rates are used to calculate local
property taxes, which determine
how much is levied in taxes for every
$1,000 of property value. School
districts set millage rates after
calculating the amount of funding
they need from homeowners to fulfill
their final budget for the year.

Washtenaw Justice Project
launches new program for
juveniles in the justice system
The Washtenaw Justice Project,
a
new
nonprofit
attempting
to
improve
the
juvenile
and
adult criminal legal system in
Washtenaw County, announced in
a press release Thursday it will be
partnering with the Washtenaw
County
Prosecutor’s
Office
and Public Defender’s Office to
establish a new restitution program
for juveniles.
In
the
state
of
Michigan,
juveniles involved in delinquency
offenses are required to pay
restitution,
a
court-ordered
payment to compensate the victim
for any losses that resulted from
the crime. However, financial
barriers to paying restitution often
negatively impact juveniles under
the justice system, as an unpaid
restitution will prevent a juvenile’s
case from being closed regardless
of whether they have reached the
end of their probation period.
The new juvenile restitution
program
would
decrease
the
likelihood of unpaid restitutions
by giving juvenile offenders the
opportunity to earn money when
they follow the terms of their
probation. The program would
allow juveniles to earn up to $1,000
in restitution, which would be
paid to crime victims through the
court. Funding for the program
will initially come from the Song
Foundation,
the
Community
Foundation of Southeast Michigan
and the Skillman Foundation.
In the press release, Washtenaw
County Prosecutor Eli Savit said
he believes this program would
benefit both the juveniles in the
justice system and the crime
victims.

Michigan physicians condemn
Supreme Court draft opinion to
overturn Roe v. Wade
Editor’s Note: This article
has been updated to protect the
privacy of a speaker.
The Committee to Protect
Health Care denounced the
U.S. Supreme Court’s draft
opinion that would overturn
Roe v. Wade, at a virtual press
conference Tuesday evening.
The Committee is a national
organization
of
medical
professionals
advocating
affordable and “pro-patient”
health care. Three physicians
based in Michigan spoke at the
event to express concern over
the impacts of this opinion, if
finalized.
The
draft
opinion
overturning
Roe
v.
Wade
was
obtained
by
Politico
and released Monday night.
Written
by
Justice
Samuel
Alito, the opinion holds that the
restrictions around abortion
access should be decided by
individual
states,
not
the
Supreme Court.
The case being considered,
Dobbs
v.
Jackson
Women’s
Health Organization, centers
on a 2018 Mississippi law
outlawing all abortions after
15
weeks,
with
exceptions
for medical emergencies or
“severe” fetal abnormalities.
Speakers
at
the
press
conference expressed concern
over
the
impact
harsher
restrictions may have on the
safety of pregnant individuals
seeking
abortions,
stressing
that pregnant individuals will
continue to seek abortions but
will face more barriers and
greater risk in doing so.
