A2: Governor’s Race

By

Detroit Free Press columnist Tom Walsh considers Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder’s recent Republican primary win for governor. Walsh compares Snyder, a former Gateway CEO, to 2006 Republican candidate Dick DeVos, an even wealthier businessman. While DeVos aligned himself as staunchly conservative, perhaps Snyder has a more centrist perspective that may aid him in the general election, Walsh writes. Sandy Baruah, president of the Detroit Regional Chamber told Walsh, “What Michigan needs is somebody who can bring the state together and create jobs.” [Source]
