Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates Tackle the Issues

On Saturday in Pittsfield, the three then Democratic candidates for governor of the state of Michigan answered questions about the issues for almost two hours. First they told the almost 100 Democrats gathered a little bit about themselves.

First, though, Debbie Dingell, wife of long-time Congressman John Dingell told the crowd that contrary to what all the pundits have been telling us, “this will be a great year for Democrats.” On Saturday the Michigan Democratic Party executive board decided to hold an endorsement convention on April 17. The endorsement convention will let the candidates judge where their support lies and will help those that get the endorsement of the party faithful to raise money and recruit volunteers.

After Dingell fired up the crowd the gathering got down to business. Stu Dowty, chair of the Washtenaw County Democrats acted as moderator as the audience submitted written questions. Click here for the rest of the story.

Virg Bernero - Mayor of Lansing to Announce for Governor

I have to admit, every time I see this guy on television fighting for the little guy, fighting for the American car industry, going up against Wall Street, I love his gumption. I love his fight. I don't know if he can take it all the way to Michigan's governor's mansion, but I sure like the idea of this guy going up against Republicans in the Senate when some important piece of legislation needs to get passed to help the people of Michigan.

I want a Democrat that understands Republicans are not for the people, the average, middle-class working man or woman and is willing to fight for them. If you want someone like that too, Virg is your man.
