MIRS Monday, December 8, 2025

On Friday afternoon, the MIRS team kicked off recordings for MIRS' "Best Of" nominating series, discussing Michigan's policy movers and political shakers. 

During non-statewide election years, MIRS names a freshman legislator of the year. The state House's freshman class size has dropped from 55 to 12 between 2023 and '25, and 31 bills have been signed by the Governor. In a year of fewer Capitol newcomers and public acts, how were this year's freshmen able to stand out? (:53)
