Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Municipal: Mayor Christopher Taylor (D) and 10 Council Members (two per ward, all "(D)" on the page) from a2gov.org/city-council/, retrieved 2026-10-31. Ann Arbor city elections are partisan ("One half of City Council is elected every two years, concurrent with the State General Election, in partisan elections"), so party is recorded. Official @a2gov.org emails only where the page prints one; photos linked.
- City races on the 2026 ballot (Washtenaw reporting site): Mayor — Yousef Rabhi (DEM), sole candidate (Mayor Taylor is not on the list). Ward 1 — Cynthia Harrison (DEM, sitting), sole. Ward 2 — Sandy Aldrich (DEM), sole. Ward 3 — Ryan Bartholomew (DEM) v Kenny Leicht (NPA). Ward 4 — Aidan Sova (DEM) v James Trost (NPA). Ward 5 — Jenn Cornell (DEM, sitting), sole. Which sitting member holds each expiring Ward 2/3/4 seat is not printed on the council page, so those members stay "elected" without a note on their seat's expiry. counts.unopposed counts the sole candidates (Rabhi, Harrison, Aldrich, Cornell).
- Districts: Census geocoder at city hall → MI-6, SD-15, HD-23. 6x6 coordinate grid (20 points inside Ann Arbor city): MI-6 20/20; SD-15 12 / SD-14 8; HD-33 7, HD-23 6, HD-47 4, HD-48 3. Only city hall's legislators are recorded. Other contests covering the city on the same county site: SD-14 Sue Shink (DEM) v Tawn Shawnelle Beliger.
- Federal: Dingell from house.gov/representatives; senators from the CC0 @unitedstates legislators-current.json. Governor Whitmer from nga.org. SD-15 Jeff Irwin from senate.michigan.gov All Senators (embedded data; the page's office phone not copied). HD-23 Jason Morgan from legislature.mi.gov Legislators.
