This November is shaping up to be one of Michigan’s most consequential elections in decades. Join Michigan Public's Political Director Zoe Clark, Senior Capitol Correspondent Rick Pluta and their panelists for our FIRST Issues & Ale: It's Just Politics of the year.
Political pundits John Sellek, Chief Strategist and CEO at Harbor Strategic Public Affairs, and Adrian Hemond, CEO of Grassroots Midwest, will join Zoe and Rick for the fast-paced discussion digging into what’s at stake in Michigan politics in 2026: an open governor’s race, an open U.S. Senate seat, and the entire state House and state Senate are up for election. Plus, voters will decide whether they want to completely rewrite the state constitution. (Plus, much more!).
Attend in person or watch online. Admission is free but in-person space is limited so advance registration is needed. Maximum 2 registrations per person (1 + Guest) for in-person attendance.
Issues and Ale is an event series from Michigan Public designed to engage people in conversations about important issues facing Michigan in an informal atmosphere. Your questions are always welcome.

Brooklyn-based improviser-composer collective Tropos—featuring University of Michigan ’14 alum Yuma Uesaka—returns to Ann Arbor for a double bill with Kenji Lee’s Fortune Teller Trio. Rooted in the improvisational spirit of jazz and creative music while embracing the formal rigor and timbral curiosity of contemporary concert music, Tropos brings what critic Nate Chinen describes as an “engaging balance of precision and daring.” The set will feature new works alongside selections from Switches, developed through a workshop process with mentor Darius Jones. Fortune Teller Trio’s music similarly balances craft and spontaneity, making for an evening of thoughtfully composed forms, audacious improvisation, and shared musical values. Fortune Teller Trio features Kenji Lee (tenor saxophone), Andy Peck (double bass), and Jonathan Barahal Taylor (drums).

With an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as, “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a cauldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser has racked up more than one billion streams with smash hits like “How Country Feels,” “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight,” “Boots On,” “Goodnight Kiss,” and “We Went.” He’s also earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of “Like A Cowboy,” which was a Top 5 country music hit, as well as a nominee for CMA’s Song of the Year.
In late 2023, Houser, who also acts, landed onscreen roles in Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed film Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, as well as the inspiring film The Hill, starring Dennis Quaid, which was the most-streamed movie on Netflix in February 2024.
The deluxe version of Houser’s sixth studio album Note to Self came out in 2025 via Magnolia Music Group, and featured new collaborations with artists like Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert and Riley Green. RIAA Gold-certified single and title track “Note To Self” marked his “powerful return,” according to Music Row, which went on to say that the Mississippi native “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists.”
His latest album, Back in the Bottle, which is available now, arrives as the first taste of Randy’s new music in 2026. For more information, visit RandyHouser.com.
