To The Point: 44th District House race

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — This week on "To The Point," we'll take a look at the 44th District House race in Calhoun County where state Rep. Jim Haadsma, D-Battle Creek, is running for his fourth term and talks about his experience in Lansing.

"I think I attain a lot of cooperation. It's an interesting place, Lansing, because although you can have cordial relationships with a number of other House members, House leadership on both sides makes it very difficult to deviate from whatever (the) leadership has in mind," he said.

Republican Steve Frisbie is challenging him and wants to change directions but still find common ground.

"I think that the smallest thing we can do is stop some of the far-left progressive movement that has gone on since 2023. The best thing we can do is work together across the aisle with the Senate and the governor to say, 'Here's what we think is good for Michigan,'" he said.

All that and more on this "To The Point" episode for the weekend of Sept. 28.
