Through the 2014 election season, Michigan Radio is providing opportunities for listeners to learn about the important issues being discussed and hear from many of the candidates running for office. Michigan Radio's State of Opportunity project is partnering with Michigan's Children to conduct a series of candidate forums focused on public policies for children, youth, and families.
