by Liz Gullett

As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Leading up to the August 4 primary, we are highlighting key races shaped by voter demographics in the district. Candidate websites and professional backgrounds are listed when available. 

District Overview

The district includes the city of Fraser, portions of Chesterfield and Clinton townships, portions of the cities of Roseville and St. Clair Shores, and all of Harrison Township.

Commentary

Republican Representative Alicia St. Germaine is running for a third term in office. While she doesn’t face a primary race, this fall she will face a general election race. While the partisan split may be close, she is a strong candidate who has performed well in this seat in prior elections.

Democratic Candidates:

    • Phil Anosike
    • Craig Plesco
    • Matthew Smith
