Absentee ballots for the primaries must be ready to be issued to voters on June 25. MIRS interviews U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, the Royal Oak state senator running in a high-intensity Democratic primary.

How does McMorrow plan to amplify her name ID with absentee voting about to begin soon? Also, she talks about believing folks who pay for their X accounts should disclaim when they're posting AI-generated content (9:20). 

MIRS also catches up with Ryan Hundt, the chief executive officer of the Michigan Works! Association. His association anticipates a $75 million to $90 million funding gap between support that lawmakers have proposed and what Michigan Works! will need to help Medicaid enrollees meet new federal workforce requirements (24:45).
