ACLU and ACLU Voter Education Fund Invest $2.3M in House and Senate races, and Michigan Supreme Court race
The ACLU of Michigan, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the ACLU Voter Education Fund are spending $2.3 million in select Michigan House and Senate races, and the Michigan Supreme Court race. The commitment is part of the ACLU’s effort to inform voters that their civil rights and liberties, including voting rights and abortion, are on the ballot this November election. Voter guides and paid advertising will be utilized to educate voters about the candidates in these races.
The ACLU Voter Education Fund is spending about $400,000 in the Michigan Supreme Court race, and the ACLU is spending about $1.9 million in select legislative races. State lawmakers shape civil rights and liberties, as does the Michigan Supreme Court. Their decisions impact the expansion or restriction of voting rights, reproductive rights, privacy rights, and other civil rights and liberties.
The ACLU of Michigan and national American Civil Liberties Union have invested in four Senate and House races, including Senate Districts 4, 9, 13 and 30, and House Districts 27, 44, 46, and 109. The Senate and House District races are highly contested.
There are two open seats on the Michigan Supreme Court, and voters will choose two candidates out of six who are running. Though state parties nominate Michigan Supreme Court candidates, each will appear in the nonpartisan section of the November 3 election ballot.
The ACLU and ACLU Voter Education Fund will reach voters through mailer guides and digital advertising.
