MIRS welcomes Jamie Roe – the Republican consultant based in Macomb Township – and Warren Democrat Joel Rutherford, the former chair of Michigan Democrats' 10th Congressional district caucus. 

On this week's Macomb County edition of the Democratic-Republican roundtable, Joel and Jamie discuss how wealthy Republican Perry Johnson has already impacted the Governor's race. Also, is a proposed stricter ID-to-vote statute worth all Michiganders needing to return to the Department of State to prove their citizenship with documents beyond their driver's licenses? 

Jamie and Joel additionally talk about their preferred candidates to represent the 10th U.S. House district after this year's elections (:50).
