On MI Ballot - Voters Not Politicians

Michigan voters: Some of the most critical races in this election are actually on the BACK of your ballot.

what are the proposals?

Vote No on Proposal 1:

to stop wealthy special interests and corporate lobbyists from rewriting our state constitution to promote their narrow, anti-voter agenda.

Every 16 years, Michigan voters are asked if the state should “convene a constitutional convention.”

Our state Constitution could be rewritten by wealthy special interests and corporate lobbyists to promote their narrow, anti-voter agenda.
There are no campaign finance rules governing delegate races — no contribution limits, no disclosure requirements, no guardrails. Anyone with money, including out-of-state interests, could spend unlimited and untraceable amounts to install delegates.
Wealthy special interest groups want to take advantage of the absence of campaign finance rules governing Constitutional Convention delegate elections, removing power from Michigan voters by locking them out of the process and advancing their own agendas.
Your constitutional protections and freedoms would be at risk.

Vote Yes on Proposal 2:

to prohibit regulated monopoly utilities (like DTE and Consumers Energy) and big government contractors (like Blue Cross Blue Shield) from making political contributions to elected officials who regulate them or sign their contracts.

Michigan voters suffer when billion dollar corporations have undue influence over the elected officials who are supposed to be looking out for us.

Proposal 2 prohibits monopoly utilities (like DTE & Consumers Energy) and big government contractors (like Blue Cross Blue Shield) from donating to politicians who regulate them and hand out their contracts.
Proposal 2 cracks down on pay-to-play politics to ensure Michigan’s government works for the people, not career politicians.
Proposal 2 stops big donors from hiding who they are so voters know who’s paying to influence Michigan’s elections.

what about the courts?

The Michigan Supreme Court:

Has the highest legal authority in the state
Directly impacts voting rights, civil rights, disability rights, privacy rights, and more
Has recently decided whether or not citizen-initiated ballot proposals could be placed on the ballot
Has TWO seats up for election in 2026
