Democrats regained a majority in the Michigan House of Representatives in two special elections on April 16, 2024. Mai Xiong (D) won 58.9% of the vote to Ronald Singer's (R) 41.1% in District 13 and Peter Herzberg (D) won 59.6% of the vote to Josh Powell's (R) 38.3% in District 25.

Democrats won a 56-54 majority in the Michigan House—and a state government trifecta—in the 2022 elections. Control of the chamber split 54-54 when Lori M. Stone (D) and Kevin Coleman (D) resigned after winning mayoral elections in 2023. Because Democrats regained the majority, Michigan remained a Democratic trifecta. If Republicans had gained a majority in the special elections, Democrats would have lost their trifecta.

Mai Xiong (D) and Ronald Singer (R) ran in District 13. Xiong was, at the time of the election, a member of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners who ran on her experience in elected office. Xiong said her focus would be on "bringing people together to get things done for working families." Singer was an engineer who was the Republican nominee in the district in 2022. Singer said he was running because "right now it seems like we need some adult supervision in Lansing," mentioning energy policy as an area of focus.

Peter Herzberg (D) and Josh Powell (R) ran in District 25. Herzberg was, at the time of the election, a member of the Westland City Council who ran on his experience in office. Herzberg said he had "spent my entire adult life focusing on public service, volunteering and helping my community." Powell was, at the time of the election, an IT worker and veteran of the U.S. Army. Powell said his "platform can be summed up in six simple words. Less Government; Less Regulation; Lower Taxes."

In 2022, Democrats won the District 13 election 67%-33% and the District 25 election 63%-37%. More Democrats voted in both districts' special primaries than Republicans. In District 13, 4,983 Democrats voted in the primary compared to 1,713 Republicans, while in District 25, 5,702 Democrats and 2,117 Republicans voted in the primary.

The April 16 Michigan elections were not the only state legislative special elections that took place in 2024 where control of a chamber was at stake. Control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was determined by a February 13 special election to break the chamber's 101-101 split. Like in Michigan, the Pennsylvania special election took place after a Democratic legislator resigned. Unlike in Michigan, Pennsylvania Republicans controlled the state senate, meaning trifecta control of the state was not at stake.

The winners of the special elections served until January 1, 2025, when the winners of the November general elections took office. Candidates who ran in the special elections were also permitted to run in the general elections.

Singer said Democrats in the state legislature had passed laws promoting new energy and automotive technologies without considering whether those technologies would actually work. He said Democrats' support for solar and wind energy as well as electric cars would not benefit Michigan taxpayers.

Josh Powell

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "My name is Josh Powell and I have been a resident of the area for ten years. I own a home in Westland and my son just graduated from John Glenn last year and he is currently attending WCC. I consider this my home and I am heavily invested in Michigan, but I am deeply concerned about the direction the state is headed under its current regime and what that means for my family’s future here. I am a veteran of the Army where I was an MP, have degrees in IT and Criminal Justice and currently work in IT for an auto supplier in the Detroit area. My platform can be summed up in six simple words. Less Government; Less Regulation; Lower Taxes. Under the state's current leadership our constitutional rights are being eroded daily. When the previous legislature assumed power in Lansing, it became open season on our freedoms and liberties in the name of special interest groups and the rights of the cities, townships and citizens were put on the back burner in favor of whichever groups could raise the most donations for those in power. The priorities of those in power now do not seem to align with the values and priorities of the common person anymore. For example, we are paying rent for thousands of illegal aliens waiting on a court date for deportation while we know of at least 2500 veterans who are homeless - who is that representing?"

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

Less Government: The state government should only get involved where the local government falls short. All governments should be as local as possible, so I will vote to keep the state out of local issues and to return local control to cities and local school boards and reduce the size and scope of the ballooning state government and budget.

---

Less Regulation: No one should ever be able to take away your 2nd amendment rights without being convicted or even charged with a crime. You shouldn’t need to renew your license plate every year or your license every 2 years. Car dealerships should be allowed to be open on Sunday if they choose to be. Over regulation is another major reason our state is shrinking and considered unattractive for businesses looking to build or expand. I would find ways to reduce or eliminate many regulations that are arbitrary and unnecessary.

---

Lower Taxes: Michigan residents have some of the highest total tax burdens of any state and those in Lansing are so out of touch currently that they just went to court to raise your income tax during a recession. This is not only bad for your budget, but it is driving people to leave our state in record numbers. I would propose instituting a phased reduction in the state income tax until it is gone, and let Michigan grow and prosper like every other state with no state income tax. Without drastic action Michigan is on track to lose another two House seats by the 2030 census.

Without drastic action Michigan is on track to lose another two House seats by the 2030 census.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Josh Powell (R)

In short, I want to stop the craziness. Currently legislation is being pushed through Lansing with no discussion or debate and absolutely no transparency. If elected, I would tie the state legislature 55/55 and bring back balance. I could make sure that important issues are not put through without debate or discussion and especially push for full transparency. I would commit to supporting bi-partisan legislation banning Michigan elected officials from signing or enforcing NDA’s when representing their constituents. There is absolutely nothing that should be hidden from taxpayers when it’s their money being spent and their behalf we are supposed to be working for.

I would also pledge to support the bi-partisan effort to fix the FOIA laws in Michigan so that everyone is accountable to the public and information can be easily and readily provided to any citizen that requests it. Currently Michigan ranks as one of the least transparent states in the United States and the governor's office is the only one in the country not subject to FOIA requests. There is already bi-partisan legislation proposed to fix this issue, and I pledge right now that I will sign on to support it.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Josh Powell (R)

As cliche as it sounds I look up to my parents. My birth father passed away when I was very young and my mother raised me alone for many years and prided herself on never taking any form of public assistance, she had me at 16 and still graduated her High School as the valedictorian. My birth father was an MP in the Army like I later became and was in desert storm. My step father married my mother when I was 8 years old and also served in the Navy during desert storm. My step father could do anything from fixing a car to installing a new air conditioner and pouring concrete and everything in between. I strive to do what I think is right and make them all proud of me.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Josh Powell (R)

9/11 was the major event that comes to mind. I was 14 and in my sophomore drafting and design class. I remember the teacher rolling in the TV and we all thought it was a good thing until we watched the second plane hit. I remember being sent home from school because we were near the Boeing plant in St. Louis which was on the target lists mentioned by Al Qaeda by name. After I went home my mother who was a nurse had to do something so she went to NYC and volunteered helping at ground zero. Eventually my fear and sadness turned to anger and I joined the military and joined the MP corps where I served for 6 years.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Josh Powell (R)

My first job was at McDonalds. I started as a 15 year old who could only work weekends and stayed there until I was 18 and went into the military. It was a valuable experience in having to be responsible and learn the expectations of an employer in a low stress situation.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Josh Powell (R)

They are a check and balance on each others power and authority. The governor should be able to do virtually nothing without legislative approval and the governor has the power of the veto for anything the legislature wants to do unless that thing is wanted by an overwhelming majority of the legislature and they can over rule it.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Josh Powell (R)

Population decline and a brain drain are going to be catastrophic for the state. We are not a competitive state in terms of taxes, job opportunities or upward mobility and this is mainly the fault of the state government which has ballooned and is trying to raise taxes at every level.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Josh Powell (R)

No, the country was founded on the notion of citizen legislators and that's what they should be. The job should not even be a full time job, some of the fasted growing states have legislators that only are in session for 3 months every other year.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Josh Powell (R)

Yes this is paramount to getting your legislative priorities done for your constituents. No man is an island and that goes doubly for politicians.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Josh Powell (R)

I believe Eisenhower got into office with the intention of continuing his service to his country and sincerely ran his presidency with that in mind. I hope I can follow his example and never forget that I am here to serve the country (or in this case my state) and not to run it.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Josh Powell (R)

I do not have any pans for seeking another office in the future now and am focused on this one but I do not consider myself to be a career politician and cannot see myself doing this for the rest of my work life.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Josh Powell (R)

Compromise is policymaking. Without compromise we don't have a constitutional republic we have an autocracy and I believe that is what Michigan has now with Whitmer getting anything she wants from a legislature controlled by her with a party that demands everyone fall in line or be booted out.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Josh Powell (R)

Westland Community News; House Freedom Caucus

What committees interest you?

Josh Powell (R)

I believe I would be a good fit for the Military, Veterans and Homeland Security committee.
