Since then, we&#8217;ve received over 2,000 responses focusing on everything from the economy to data centers to the cost of health care. We are using that feedback to help shape our reporting and to press candidates on those issues during this election year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against that backdrop, Bridge Michigan&#8217;s next Lunch Break virtual panel, moderated by Bridge&#8217;s Deputy Politics Editor Jonathan Oosting in conversation with politics reporters Lauren Gibbons and Jordyn Hermani, will explore what we&#8217;ve learned and what we can expect the candidates to be talking about as they vie for your vote in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll also reveal the top 20 issues and launch a ballot asking you to help us rank them heading into the August primary. In October, we&#8217;ll bring those priorities to our Issues Summit focused on what readers have identified as Michigan&#8217;s most pressing concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lunch Break is from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 25.
