Republican House Speaker Matt Hall joins It’s Just Politics’ Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta this week as the Legislature begins a new year under divided control. Hall discusses his 2026 policy priorities (property tax relief and working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on student literacy), whether the House will pass a state budget on-time (he’s not making promises), independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan, and the Speaker’s support for rewriting the state’s entire constitution by voting for a “Con-Con” in November.
Hall’s counterpart in the Democrat-controlled Senate, Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, joined It’s Just Politics last week. Listen here.
