Where they stand

Abortion Access

MICHAEL WARREN: Warren is nominated by the Michigan Republican Party, which has opposed abortion access. Warren said on a 2022 podcast that, based on his judicial philosophy, the U.S. Supreme Court was legally correct to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating the federal constitutional right to abortion.

Education

MICHAEL WARREN: Warren has proposed turning school districts into “corporations” that sell “shares.” On the Michigan State Board of Education, he said he supported school voucher programs, which can increase school choice for parents but also reduce funding for public schools by sending taxpayer funds to private institutions.

Environment

MICHAEL WARREN: As a Circuit Court judge, Warren dismissed a lawsuit challenging oil and gas drilling in Rochester Hills.
