Reflection:
It was very interesting to complete this activity! It was the first time I have done something like this, and it was very interesting to see all of the little-known elections that are happening in Michigan this year. Since I am a “research person,” I enjoyed completing it and would do it again. It was indeed challenging to get all five of the required races, but Ballotopedia was very helpful with that search. Overall, I enjoyed completing this activity and found it quite interesting.
