Michigan House majority is on the line. These districts will decide it

In the fight for control of Michigan’s state House, it all comes down to two seats.

Democrats wrested control of the chamber from Republicans two years ago, winning a 56-54 majority in a favorable environment that saw Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other Democratic candidates sweep statewide seats.

With a much closer presidential race expected at the top of the ticket this year, Republicans are optimistic they can flip the House and end a political trifecta for Democrats, who also have a narrow majority in the state Senate.

Democrats are spending eye-popping amounts of cash to keep the majority, outspending Republican rivals at a near four-to-one ratio. As of mid-October, Democratic state House candidates had pumped $5.9 million into advertising and other expenses, compared to less than $1.6 million for Republicans.
