MIRS sits down with political consultant David Forsmark of Genesee County and Adrian Hemond, head of Grassroots Midwest, the political outreach and advocacy firm. 

Together, they discuss why special interest groups might be involving themselves in primaries instead of reserving resources for Michigan's most flipable races. Also, what group of Michigan voters might surprise folks this cycle? (1:45) 

Also, who is Tom Turner, the lone Democrat running in the 57th state House district covering parts of Troy, Madison Heights and Sterling Heights? Tom talks about why he chose hitting the campaign trail – attempting to defeat a Republican incumbent in November – as his post-military life move (30:28).
