GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. ~ Michigan voters will get another look at the contenders seeking to represent the state in the U.S. Senate when they meet for a debate Thursday night. The event is expected to give voters a chance to hear where the candidates stand on key issues, including the economy, public safety and federal policy ahead of the November election.
