Washtenaw: State Senate

By

A Detroit News article looks at how legislation to restructure the state’s teacher retirement system – a move opposed by the Michigan Education Association – might affect the upcoming elections: “It remains to be seen how that plays out in legislative campaigns. For example, Rep. Pam Byrnes, D-Chelsea, and Rep. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, will oppose each other in a state Senate primary. Byrnes voted for the reform, Warren voted against it. Will Warren’s vote translate into MEA money and foot soldiers that will help her in August or will Byrnes get credit from voters for backing spending reform?” [Source]
