Washtenaw: State Rep. Race
Saline mayor Gretchen Driskell announced on Facebook her plans to run for state representative in District 52, a seat now held by Republican Mark Ouimet. Driskell, a Democrat, stated: ”I am running for State Representative because I believe the people in our communities have not been adequately represented. Lansing has cut education funding, community development programs, and put business before people.” She plans a campaign kickoff party on Tuesday, March 27 at Mangiamo restaurant, 105 W. Michigan Ave. in Saline from 7-9 p.m. [Source]
