Michigan Supreme Court selects new chief justice

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court announced its justices have selected a new chief justice with the upcoming departure of the current incumbent. The justices unanimously selected Megan Cavanagh to succeed Elizabeth Clement when she steps down, according to a Thursday announcement from the court. In February, Clement announced her intention to retire from the court before the end of April. “The Court decided to make the choice now to ensure that the transition will be as smooth as possible and to confirm that our commitment to the path the Court is on will not waver,” Cavanagh said in a statement. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has the opportunity to appoint a justice to fill Clement’s vacancy and create a 6-1 majority of Democratic-backed justices. Whoever is appointed must run for retention in 2026 for a full eight-year term.

Jack Bergman Declines Invite To March 22 Traverse City Town Hall As Local Constituents Pressure Lawmakers For Face Time

It's become something of a rallying cry for Traverse Indivisible, the advocacy group pressuring northern Michigan’s Congressional officials to visit Traverse City for in-person town hall events. The group’s goal is to provide an arena where local constituents can voice whatever concerns they have about sweeping federal government changes since President Trump took office in January. But while Indivisible leaders say they’ve had productive conversations with Michigan Senators Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, they’ve been rebuffed by northern Michigan’s lone voice in the United States House of Representatives, Jack Bergman, who hasn’t held a single town hall in his district since 2017.
