Commentary:
Democratic Senator Darrin Camilleri is running for his final term in office after serving one term in the Senate and three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives. Senator Camilleri has proven to be one of the legislature’s hardest-working members and is well positioned to hold this seat. However, Senate Republicans have a strong candidate who is working hard, and they are not letting Senate Democrats take this seat for granted without investing time and resources.
