Attorney General of Michigan

Statewide — all of Michigan

General election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026

• The seat is open: incumbent Democrat Dana Nessel is term-limited. The Michigan Bureau of Elections' candidate listing for the November 3, 2026 general election names six candidates: Eli Savit (Democratic), Doug Lloyd (Republican), Jeff Polonowski (Green), Jason Dye (Libertarian), John Perry Ludtke Jr. (U.S. Taxpayers) and Doug Dern (Natural Law).[6][1]
• All six were nominated at party conventions rather than a primary; the state listing records filing dates of August 31, 2026 for Savit and Dern, August 24 for Lloyd, August 3 for Polonowski, July 20 for Ludtke and June 29 for Dye.[6]
• Allegation, not a finding: in April 2026 a complaint filed with the Michigan Department of State by Bob Labrant, an attorney and former leader with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, alleged that Savit improperly used a Washtenaw County-provided gas card for campaign travel. Savit's campaign said the county compensation package allows him personal use of a county vehicle and called the complaint meritless; the campaign also said he would voluntarily reimburse the county for gas purchases since launching his campaign. The source does not report any finding or outcome.[5]
