- LEC actions
by Bill Gelineau
The LEC voted unanimously this week to extend our lease
at the Hazel Park office for 2 additional months. This was
done to provide sufficient transition time to set up the
Lansing office and will possibly provide the LPM with
additional opportunities in anticipation of utilizing a new
field office in Oakland County. We expect the new year to
begin with the opening of our political office in Lansing.
Will White, the Chair of the LP of Mid-Michigan, has done
alot of leg work help bring this about. We will need the
assistance of many volunteers to make our presence felt. We
want to maintain staff a couple of days each week starting
Jan. 1 and also process on the weekend. If you are able to
provide some help, please contact Bill Gelineau,
616-254-2878 or wgelineau@firstam.com

- City Council Elections on November 4
by Greg Dirasian
Elections are one week away. There are some important
elections going on.
Mark Owen is up for re-election to the Owosso City
Council. If you live close and can help, let Mark know by
emailing him at: Mark@ElectMarkOwen.org
Andy LeCureaux is up for re-election to the Hazel Park
City Council. You may have heard that there was a
slanderous piece put out by an unidentified group. The
group even attacked the credibility of the LP of Michigan by
claiming that we were evicted from our Hazel Park office.
If you can work a poll to help Andy's campaign, please email
him at: andrew-7@webtv.com. Andy's campaign will also be
holding their election night party at LPM HQ in Hazel Park.
Erin Stahl has an active city council campaign in St.
Clair Shores that is receiving widespread support. Her
strong showing in the primary bodes well. If you can help
Erin's campaign by working a poll on election day, please
email greg@ErinStahl.com.
We have great potential this election day. Please try
to make the potential a reality by volunteering to work for
the campaign of your choice.
