Jackson voters have narrowed the mayoral race to just two finalists: Derek Dobies, who won the primary with 40.5%, and John Wilson, who came in second with 22%.

This election marks a historic shift — Jackson is now holding its mayoral race in an even-numbered year, a move aimed at cutting costs and boosting voter turnout.

Jocelyn Benson just won the Democratic nomination for governor of Michigan, setting her up for a high-stakes showdown against Republican John James in November. With healthcare, education, and family finances at the core of her message, Benson is positioning herself as a governor who puts everyday Michiganders first—not big donors or lobbyists. Her campaign has already launched a $10 million ad blitz starting in September, urging supporters to keep the momentum alive as the state prepares for what could be one of the most pivotal gubernatorial races in decades—especially since no party has held the office for more than two consecutive terms in 35 years. The nation is watching as Benson prepares to take on Whitmer’s legacy and redefine Michigan’s future.

Voters in Ingham County just delivered a clear message: they’re backing key local investments. The Potter Park Zoo’s millage renewal passed overwhelmingly, securing its future as a beloved community hub. The Capital Area District Library also looks set to continue receiving funding, while a critical tax for senior and disability transportation services got strong approval — plus, parks and trails got renewed support too. But not all proposals won: Lansing’s plan to sell the former Lansing City Market (now the Lansing Shuffle) failed, showing voters aren’t ready to let go of that investment. Meanwhile, East Lansing approved charter changes, including requiring the next city manager to live locally — a move aimed at restoring trust. It’s a snapshot of communities actively shaping their futures, one ballot at a time.

Delta Township is set to welcome a new supervisor—Andrea Cascarilla, who decisively won the Democratic primary with 66% of the vote, poised to serve a partial term through 2028. She’s already a seasoned trustee since 2016, stepping into the role left vacant by former supervisor Ken Fletcher, who resigned amid legal troubles after being sentenced to probation for computer-related crimes. With no Republican challengers and interim trustee Fonda Brewer not seeking reelection, Cascarilla’s victory marks a pivotal moment for the township as she prepares to lead through turbulent waters.

Mason’s City Council race is heating up as eight candidates, including three former mayors and two current council members, battle for seats amid a $1 billion data center deal that could double the city’s tax revenue. The secretive developer’s proposal has ignited fierce debate, sparking recall efforts against local officials—and possibly reshaping Mason’s future through a state commission override of a neighboring township’s land rejection. Voters in November will decide not just who leads the council, but whether to embrace this economic gamble or resist its impact.
