LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The balance of power in Michigan’s House has been even since November when two Democratic representatives won mayoral races in their home districts.
On Tuesday, special elections will be held to fill the seats of former Representatives Lori Stone and Kevin Coleman. Whoever wins those seats will determine whether the majority goes to Democrats, as it did in November 2022, or if the power will shift. Up until last November, Democrats had been enjoying the first “blue” majority in the last 40 years.

District 13, which covers parts of Warren and Macomb County, will see Democrat Mai Xiong face Republican Ronald Singer on the ballot. District 25 includes the city of Westland in Wayne County. That’s where Democrat Peter Herzberg and Republican Josh Powell will contend for a spot in Lansing.
Any voter registered in the 13th or 25th state House districts may participate in Tuesday’s special elections. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
