November general election matchups for key statewide races will be set after the Michigan Democratic Party’s endorsement convention Sunday, April 19.
Michigan is one of three states that selects candidates for statewide positions via a closed party process rather than a primary vote, meaning party members at the convention pick candidates for certain statewide positions.
Political parties hold state conventions in even-numbered years to nominate candidates for those offices.
The offices include Secretary of State, Attorney General, state Supreme Court, state Board of Education, Michigan State University Board of Trustees, Wayne State University Board of Governors and University of Michigan Board of Regents.
Who Democrats pick at the Sunday endorsement convention will set the matchups for the general election in those races.
Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini and Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd were selected by MIGOP members last month as Republican candidates for Secretary of State and Attorney General.
