NEW: How Michigan congressman Jack Bergman came to live in a campaign donor's Washington, D.C. home Earlier this year, the donor sold home on a land contract to Bergman’s daughter in a sell-financed deal with no principal due until 2033. Bergman has continued to claim taxpayer reimbursement since his daughter bought the Capitol Hill rowhouse for the same price the donor paid for it four years ago. detroitnews.com/story/news/p… via @nannburke & @detroitnews

The ad to supposedly help Vivek was one of the most strategically stupid ads I have seen in my 30 years in this business. It was so obviously predictable that the counterpunch was going to hurt far more than the punch. It might cost us a US Senate seat.

The Senate candidates are appearing separately this afternoon. That's allowing a much more policy-focused discussion at the Detroit Economic Club than at the debate earlier this month.

Michigan voters will decide Nov. 3 whether the state adopts a ban on political contributions from monopoly utilities and a large swath of their leaders after years of rising rates across the state. If it passes, all sides appear poised for litigation. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

Banning utility donations in Michigan politics hinges on voters, legal action

Michigan would become the first state in the nation to bar political contributions from utilities and their leaders if voters adopt Proposal 2 on Nov. 3.
