Detroit News political reporter Craig Mauger sat down in Ralph Rebandt’s living room to interview the Farmington Hills pastor who was making a long-shot bid for governor. He slipped into a booth at Leo’s Coney Island in Bloomfield Hills across from Kevin Rinke to talk tax policy with a wealthy businessman who wants to be the state’s chief executive.

And when the FBI arrested one of the Republican gubernatorial candidates, Craig was on the scene in Grand Rapids to capture the moment Ryan Kelley was arraigned in federal court on misdemeanor charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol. And the next morning, Craig explained to Detroit News readers what Kelley’s arrest meant for his political prospects.

Washington state bureau chief Melissa Burke used confidential sources to release stories about the reassignment of top executives at the Detroit VA hospital amid an internal investigation. This summer, he has documented the hotly contested primary election that will ultimately decide who will represent Michigan in Congress for the next two years.

When the nation’s highest court overturned half a century of abortion rights on June 24, national correspondent Riley Beggin was outside the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., sending dispatches, photos and videos to Detroit News readers in Michigan about the immediate reaction to the decision.

And from The News’ Lansing Bureau, political reporter Beth LeBlanc continues to cover story after story about how the state’s unemployment insurance agency messed with Michigan’s self-employed unemployment benefits during the pandemic.

Beth and Craig drove through the night at the state Capitol on June 30 and into the early hours of July 1, documenting how Michigan lawmakers put $1 billion in pork barrel spending into a record $76 billion state budget (Craig also covered the gubernatorial debate in Warren that night before returning to Lansing to keep an eye on the state senate).

News cycles are fast and furious in Michigan politics. It’s easy to miss a story.

Here are 20 stories from The Detroit News this summer that you won’t want to miss:
