3/12/13 - A local school board member has thrown his hat into the ring for a local state House seat. Hartland Consolidated Schools Board of Education Treasurer Charlie Aberasturi announced his candidacy Monday to run as a Republican in 2014 for Michigan's 47th House District seat. The seat is currently held by Cindy Denby, who is term limited from running again. Aberasturi, who has served on the Hartland board for 16 years, said his platform is "invest in the future" and touted his financial background in automotive manufacturing. He becomes the third GOP candidate for the seat, joining Handy Township Supervisor Hank Vaupel and Michigan Sports Academy-Livingston owner Karl Kling. The 47th House District includes the City of Howell and Conway, Cohoctah, Deerfield, Hartland, Howell, Handy, Iosco, Unadilla, Marion, Oceola and Tyrone townships. (JK)
