September 17, 2026 ~ Bridge Michigan’s Jordyn Hermani joins Kevin to dive into a fact check on Proposal 2.
LANSING, Mich. ~ For many Michigan voters, the debate over the proposed Michiganders for Money Out of Politics ballot measure comes down to a simple question: Who should have the biggest influence in elections? Supporters say limiting political donations tied to large utilities and major state contractors could help restore trust in government and reduce the appearance of pay-to-play politics.
Others remain cautious and question whether the proposal goes far enough to curb outside spending and whether parts of it could face legal challenges. As ballots arrive in mailboxes, voters are weighing whether the measure is a meaningful first step toward greater transparency or a limited solution to a much larger issue.
