As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Over the past week, we covered these topics on the MLC Blog…

Politics isn’t just parties—it’s people. MLC’s Karli Hensler shared what she learned working in the House: relationships, work ethic & kindness often matter more than party lines.

Despite negotiations between the House, Senate, and the governor’s office, the legislature did not meet the statutory July 1 deadline to complete the state budget for the next fiscal year.

The nonpartisan Senate Fiscal Agency released the April 2025 Michigan Economic Indicators Report. The report provides economic highlights on both the national and state levels.

In just over one month, Detroit residents will vote in the primary race for the next Mayor of Michigan’s biggest city.

First-term legislator, Representative Steve Frisbie, brings 40 years of experience as a paramedic, firefighter, and educator to his role in Lansing.

In our weekly “Five Things We’re Reading” feature, we shared articles on the best states to buy a business, why Gen Z doesn’t run bar tabs, and more.

A look at events during the week of July 5 – 11, 2025.
