4/18/14 - A large slate of candidates are seeking various open seats this election season in Livingston County and one is calling for a clean race but not without debate. Candidates seeking the GOP nomination in the August 5th primary for the 47th District State House of Representatives seat include Howell Mayor Phil Campbell, Howell Township resident Harold Melton, Hartland Township resident Theodore Ring, Handy Township Supervisor Hank Vaupel and former Howell School Board Trustee Wendy Day. She recently challenged candidates to take part in a series of four debates so that voters will be clear where everyone stands on different issues if elected. She further encouraged candidates to avoid mudslinging and stick to the facts as the race heats up. Long-time Hartland Board of Education trustee Charlie Aberasturi announced this week that he was ending his campaign for the seat, which is being vacated by the term-limited Cindy Denby. Seeking the Democratic nomination for the 47th District is candidate Jordan Genso, who previously announced his intent to run but didnât formally file until Thursday per county records. (JM)
