2. 47 State House Seats Without Incumbents In 2002 by Ghazey Aleck

   When recruiting candidates, county commissioners seats are up, some road commission seats are up, 110 State House seats are up, 38 State Senate seats are up, and 15 U.S. House of Representative seats are up. Given the LPM's success at winning non-partisan local races, I still feel that emphasis should be given to running Libertarians for the county positions, but for those interested in running for State House, 47 seats will have no incumbent running.

   Those districts without incumbents are as follows:

   1st District, Wayne County, Term Limited, a Heavy Republican District.

   7th District, Wayne County, Term Limited, a Heavy Democratic District.

   8th District, Wayne County, Term Limited, a Heavy Democratic District.

   9th District, Wayne County, Term Limited, a Heavy Democratic District.

   13th District, Wayne County, Term Limited, a Moderately Heavy Democratic District.

   17th District, Wayne County, New District No Incumbent, Slightly Democratic District.

   21st District, Wayne County, Term Limited, Slightly Republican District.

   23rd District, Wayne County, New District No Incumbent, Slightly Democratic District.

   24th District, Macomb County, New District No Incumbent, Republican/Democratic Even District.

   25th District, Macomb County, Term Limited, Republican/Democratic Even District.

   27th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Moderately Heavy Democratic District.

   28th District, Macomb County, Term Limited, Moderately Heavy Democratic District.

   32nd District, Macomb County, New District No Incumbent,Slightly Republican District

   34th District, Genesse County, New District No Incumbent, Heavy Democratic District.

   35th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Heavy Democratic District.

   36th District, Macomb County, New District No Incumbent, Moderately Republican District.

   37th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Slightly Republican District.

   38th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Heavy Republican District.

   40th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Heavy Republican District.

   42nd District, Macomb County, Term Limited, Moderately Democratic District.

   43rd District, Oakland County, New District No Incumbent, Moderately Republican District.

   44th District, Oakland County, Term Limited, Heavy Republican District.
