PLYMOUTH, Mich. — City of Plymouth voters sided with Democrats at the top of Tuesday’s ballot and lopsidedly turned down a call for a new state constitutional convention, according to unofficial returns from the city clerk.
Jocelyn Benson and running mate Winnie Brinks took 3,781 votes for governor and lieutenant governor in the city, or about 63.6 percent, against 2,100 for Republicans John James and Jay DeBoyer. In the U.S. Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed carried the city with 3,613 votes to 2,247 for Mike Rogers.
Debbie Dingell won 3,774 city votes in the 6th Congressional District against 1,968 for Heather Smiley. Matt Koleszar drew 3,833 votes in the 5th State Senate District, and Lisa McIntyre led the 22nd State House District count in Plymouth with 3,609 votes to 2,106 for Casey J. Noce.
On the statewide questions, Proposal 2026-1 on a constitutional convention failed in the city 4,362 to 955. Proposal 2026-2 on campaign contributions passed 4,614 to 816.
Plymouth voters also supported the Wayne County Zoological Authority millage renewal for the Detroit Zoo, 4,235 to 1,185, and the Southeast Michigan Public Historical Museum Authority millage, 3,350 to 1,946. The city counted 6,005 ballots, including 1,110 cast during early voting, for 72 percent turnout. The figures are unofficial until county canvassers certify them.
Early voting in the city ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1, and the final Sunday drew the most people, 211. The clerk’s office issued 3,007 absentee ballots to city voters. Early votes were counted Tuesday night at the Plymouth Cultural Center, 525 Farmer St.
