ACLU Invests $2 Million in Michigan Elections
News summary

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan is investing $2.3 million into state Supreme Court and House races, focusing on reproductive rights and civil liberties as key campaign issues. The investment includes $2 million for the Supreme Court and $300,000 for specific House races, utilizing a radio ad campaign to inform voters about candidates' positions. Political Director Merissa Kovach stated that the aim is to safeguard the progress made on reproductive rights, especially after Michigan enshrined abortion rights in its constitution. Although the elections are technically nonpartisan, the ACLU's efforts may favor Democratic candidates Justice Kyra Harris Bolden and law professor Kimberly Ann Thomas against their Republican opponents. The ACLU's campaign reflects a broader strategy to influence judicial outcomes that could impact future rulings on civil rights issues. This significant financial commitment underscores the importance of maintaining a liberal majority in Michigan's Supreme Court amid ongoing debates on reproductive and voting rights.
