As election results come in – Michigan Democrats are keeping a close eye on state House races. They believe they take control of the state House in 2015.
Democrat Mark Schauer hopes if he’s elected governor tonight that he’ll have a Democratic House to work with.
“I think it would reflect a new set of priorities for Michigan and a different set of values and a different approach, one that really does put people first, realizing that we have to rebuild our middle class.”
Democrats would need to gain control of seven seats currently held by Republicans to have a majority. According to the Gongwer news service, Democrats are within reach in ten state House races.
