Watch our Bridge Lunch Break event about Michigan’s election results

Bridge Michigan’s monthly Lunch Break series returned Wednesday with a discussion of Michigan’s midterm election results.

Bridge Capitol reporters Lauren Gibbons, Jonathan Oosting and Yue Stella Yu participated in this roundtable event the day after the election, reporting on the results, the paths to victory for the successful candidates and the potential implications of the vote on our state. The discussion was moderated by Bridge managing editor Joel Kurth.
