• Stateside: Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026 (michiganpublic.org) — A Fenton resident, Thomas W. Howe, is running for one of two Michigan Supreme Court seats on the ballot this November and is featured in a new Stateside interview. The program also explores cost-of-living concerns among young voters and previews Detroit Story Fest, but the most direct local tie is Howe's Fenton roots and statewide candidacy.
