Michigan judicial campaigns are down-ballot and nonpartisan but sometimes candidates reveal their ideological biases.
One Michigan Supreme Court candidate is a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives who recently made a speech in opposition to an amendment to the Michigan Indian Family Preservation Act. This candidate believes the Indian Child Welfare Act is unconstitutional because two members of the United States Supreme Court dissented in Haaland v. Brackeen. Dissents are not the law. He also made material misrepresentations about tribal membership rules and how the state law best interests of the child standard works in ICWA cases.
The other Michigan Supreme Court candidate has expressed her commitment to the rule of law. We like her lots.
Incidentally, the MIFPA amendment passed and is now law.
