Invest in 2026 coverage Michigan needs
Bridge Michigan's year-end campaign is happening now! Next year, candidates will make big promises about fixing what keeps you up at night: housing costs, crumbling roads, health care access, whether families can afford to stay in Michigan. We'll be there to fact-check every claim, investigate every policy, and hold every lawmaker accountable.
Your support is an investment in nonpartisan independent journalism that answers to you–not special interests or political parties.
