Watch Live: Bridge Michigan Issues Summit

Wednesday, Oct. 21 | 1–5:30 p.m. ET | Streaming live

Ahead of the Nov. 3 election, Bridge Michigan spent a year asking people across the state what matters most to them. On Oct. 21, Bridge journalists take those answers to experts, community leaders and policymakers, live from Detroit.

The panels look at why health care keeps getting more expensive, how housing costs and wages are squeezing family budgets, whether Michigan schools can prepare the next workforce, and what the push for data centers and high-tech growth means for the state's power and water. Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Henderson leads conversations on the races for governor and U.S. Senate. Veteran Detroit broadcaster Devin Scillian hosts.

Presented by Bridge Michigan, with media partners Detroit PBS and Michigan Public.
