Sources and coverage

Covers the 35 contests represented by the 37 candidate-directory listings and four explicit education-board endorsements in the Macomb guide linked by MI GOP: statewide offices, U.S. House districts 9 and 10, six Senate districts, 13 House districts, four state education boards, the Michigan Supreme Court, county executive, County Commission District 1, Macomb Community College and the specific L’Anse Creuse and Chippewa Valley school-board terms listed. Complete active fields are shown for those contests. Other county, municipal, judicial and school contests and ballot proposals are outside this guide. Your address determines your ballot.

The Macomb County Republican Party guide, linked by Michigan Republican Party voter guide, linked from the Michigan Republican Party’s county guide directory, determines the selections covered here. Official candidate records establish the complete fields for the included contests. A candidate’s appearance in a party guide is attributed to that guide; explicit endorsements are labeled separately.

Nonpartisan ballot status and party support are separate facts. Other candidates in each covered contest are also listed. These are candidate listings, not election results. This county reference is not a personalized ballot.

Campaign websites, social links and portraits retain their separate source review dates. Missing links or portraits do not indicate that a candidate has no campaign presence. Consult the linked sources for subsequent updates.
