Candidate

Elections

The primary election is a partisan election so voters must cast their ballots in either the Democratic, Republican or Libertarian party sections of the ballot.

Voters will cast ballots for governor, U.S. Senate candidates and Representative in Congress, 8th District.

Locally, voters also will decided who will represent them in the state senate, 12th District. Michael D. McCready, Vernon Molnar, Jim Tedder and Terry Whitney are running on the republican ticket; Rosemary Bayer is the lone democratic candidate, as is Jeff Pittel on the Libertarian Party ballot.

There are two candidates on the Democratic Party ballot for state representative: Mindy Denninger and Tom Watson. Incumbent republican John Reilly is running unopposed.

In the county commissioner’s race, 1st District, both candidates are running unopposed: Republican Michael J. Gingell and Democrat Michelle A. Bryant.

See the July 25 edition of the Lake Orion Review for profiles of the candidates in the contested elections.

Sample ballots are available at Orion Twp. Clerk Penny Shults’ webpage, www.oriontownship.org under the “Departments” tab. For more information, call clerk’s office at 248-391-0304.
