For Attorney General, the party endorsed Doug Lloyd.

The party endorsed two candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court: Judge Casandra Morse-Bills and Judge Michael Warren.

    • Judge Morse-Bills currently serves as Presiding Judge in the 23rd Judicial Circuit. Additionally, she is a member of the Michigan Judicial Council. Prior to taking the bench, she was in private practice.
    • Judge Warren has served on the Oakland County Circuit Court since 2002. Additionally, he is a business law professor at Wayne State University. He’s a former member of the Michigan State Board of Education.
