LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Michigan Republicans have reclaimed the state House of Representatives by winning at least 58 seats out of 110.
“Our hard-fought victory reaffirms that the people of Michigan want leaders who put them first, uphold the rule of law, and advocate for accountability at every level of government,” House Republican Leader Matt Hall said in a statement.
He promised a Republican majority that would fight “for the values of hardworking families” and address “the issues that matter most — safe schools and neighborhoods, an affordable economy, and a government that provides value for dollars.”
“Tonight’s victory shows that Michiganders trust Republicans to lead our state toward a brighter future. They want a government that listens, that acts with integrity and that is accountable to the people. We are ready to deliver on those promises and restore balance to Michigan’s government,” Michigan House Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Bill Schuette said.
In 2022, Democrats won control of all three branches of state government; the governor’s office, the House of Representatives and the Senate. But their control of the House was limited to only two seats.
Democrats will hold on to their slim 56-54 majority in the Michigan Senate — none of those seats were up for election this time around. The next time Michigan will vote for state senators is 2026.
