Democratic candidates for the 66th House seat, now held by term-limited Chris Ward, made their case to voters in the Livingston Press and Argus in a recent article.
Donna Anderson and Tommy Crawford are competing for the nomination, but Anderson, who has been vice-chair of the party until stepping down to focus on her race, has been a much more visible and active Democrat than Crawford. Crawford does not appear to be registered in the party and did not attend a local party meeting last week to which he was invited.
The Press and Argus article will be available for only a limited time, but here are some portions of it:
"Brighton resident Donna Anderson, who made an unsuccessful bid for the state Senate two years ago, is focusing on investing more in education, increasing the number of jobs and improving the environment in her campaign, while Milford Township resident Tommy Crawford is looking for the state to spend less on oil and to lower taxes for residents."
Anderson also said the state should continue to diversify the economy and expand use and production of alternative energy. She also urged expansion of early childhood education and an examination of whether non-violent offenders could be let out of prison to cut costs without endangering public safety.
According to the Press and Argus:
"Crawford, 21, said the state is relying too much on oil.
"'We could cut spending as far as using less oil and stuff like that,' Crawford said."
The Press and Argus is planning a forum for legislative candidates who have competition in the August primary. We'll post the details.
