MI-AG: Oakland County prosecutor (D) announces bid for attorney general nomination
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced Tuesday her intention to seek the Michigan Democratic Party nomination in 2026 for state attorney general.
McDonald had teased big news on Monday via social media. On Tuesday afternoon, she made it official that she was seeking the party’s nomination to replace Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is term-limited.
Delegates for Michigan’s political parties nominate candidates for attorney general, secretary of state, state university boards, state Board of Education members and Supreme Court candidates during nominating conventions. These candidates do not engage in the primary election process.
McDonald touted her early work as a teacher who went to law school to become an attorney, later a judge and then finally the Oakland County prosecutor.
