The major political parties have released their slate of candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court and various university boards of regents. All of these races are listed on the ballot as "non-partisan." Don't believe it. The Sunday Free Press (alas, the link is probably now behind a paywall) notes the Supreme Court candidates have to work the room at the GOP state convention. That means they tell delegates how much they will work to maintain conservative principles in their decisions as they solicit votes.
Since I profoundly disagree with conservative and GOP ideals, here are the candidates nominated by the Democrats -- the ones to vote for.
Michigan Supremes
Shelia Johnson
Connie Kelley
Bridget McCormack
WSU Board of Governors
Sandra Hughes O'Brien
Kin Trent
MSU Board of Trustees
Joel Ferguson
Brian Mosallam
UM Board of Regents
Mark Bernstein
Shauna Ryder Diggs
State Board of Education
Lupe Ramos-Montigny
Michelle Fecteau
Between the Lines, Michigan's gay newspaper, has a big article about Bridget McCormack for Michigan Supremes. The article also says a bit why the vote is important to the Michigan gay community. The top issue is joint adoption by gay couples, but there are several other issues to come before the Supremes.
BTL also offers a voter guide. Alas, it isn't online and one must sign up for it. I don't know how the guide will be delivered.
