Freep endorsements for Michigan voters in US House, Senate, state House in Aug. 6 primary

The Detroit Free Press Editorial Board has endorsed the following candidates in the Aug. 6 party primary election. For competitive primary races, the editorial board chooses the best-qualified candidate on each party's ticket. In some instances, we have affirmed an incumbent's bona fides. Some districts are so heavily Democrat or Republican that they will effectively be decided in the primary; the Free Press Editorial Board will make separate endorsements this fall in seats with a competitive general election.

How to vote   

Local clerks mailed absentee ballots to Michigan voters June 27. Registered voters may cast ballots early, in person, from July 27 to Aug. 4 — check with your local clerk for the location of early voting sites and ballot dropboxes. And, of course, you can vote — and register to vote — in person on Aug. 6, Election Day.
