A2: Governor’s Race

By

The Detroit News reports on Rick Snyder’s efforts to reach out to “non-traditional” voters as the Ann Arbor businessman seeks the GOP nomination for governor. The strategy is being led by moderate Republican Joe Schwarz: “Schwarz, a Battle Creek physician who considered a run for governor as an independent, will lead a campaign called ‘Common Sense for Michigan’ to mobilize voters who have not traditionally voted in Republican primaries, the Snyder campaign announced Monday. Snyder, seen as the most moderate candidate in the five-man Republican primary Aug. 3, is hoping to draw independents and crossover votes along with Republicans while his opponents split the conservative vote.” [Source]
