Baldly Bipartisan's John Sellek joined Gongwer Michigan (State Affairs Michigan) and WDET 101.9FM's MichMash to talk about the GOP's conference on Mackinac Island!

Interesting interview story from Lily Catherine Guiney

Pumped to be making my rookie appearance on WKAR News’s Off The Record this week alongside pros Rick Pluta & Simon D. Schuster; interviewing Rep. Rep. Bryan Posthumus. Exceptionally cool to be on campus at MSU ComArtSci 1.5 years post-sleepwalking to class in this building in sweats.

An exciting day. Lily Catherine Guiney makes her "Off the Record" debut: video.wkar.org/video/october-…

A two-guest episode this week as we examine the ballot proposal that would create new procedures to assure only U.S. citizens can vote in Michigan elections and set new photo ID requirements.

I thought there were more interesting bits than usual in the quarterly deadline for federal candidates to disclose campaign finance activity. Lily Catherine Guiney filed this story for us.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Zach Gorchow’s weekender today has some exciting stuff that’s new w/ our official onboarding to State Affairs — committee transcripts & an APP?! But the important stuff at the core is the same (pretty much always has been).

Good discussion between Alethia Kasben and Cheyna Roth on what stood out in the fundraising reports Michigan's U.S. House and U.S. Senate candidates filed last week.

Good job by Nick Smith taking an op-ed Rep. Lightner and Sen. Chang wrote and advancing it with interviews.

When Elena Durnbaugh asks questions, Elena Durnbaugh gets answers.

I’m annoying like that 😉

Major news here...

An exclusive Gongwer feature has long been the state's only tool for tracking and receiving alerts on departmental administrative rules. We use that feature in-house too, that way we make sure to cover news stories like this one from Liz Nass.

TGINCFF (thank God it's not a campaign finance Friday)

One of those days where big news just keeps falling out of the sky.

This was a pretty newsy episode if I do say so myself.

99% of this week’s episode of MichMash is the usual policy and politics, and State Budget Director Jen Flood is the guest. But I couldn’t resist a little fun with the big MSU v UM game at hand. Gruff Sparty in the house. Full episode at youtu.be/acPRyC2xnY4?si…

Graham Couch sees around corners.
