Palteko won this seat with less than 50% of the vote. This is winnable.

This seat is in Wayne County in inner suburbs of Detroit. All of Redford, part of Dearborn Heights, and a small part of Livonia. It SLIGHTLY leans democrat, but a republican can win it, and almost did in 2002. In a special election, a good GOTV effort WILL win this....for either side. This district is very blue collar, and had a lot of social conservatives in it, and also a lot of union members.

2002 results.

Palteko (D) - 14772
Dearborn Heights(his home) - 6158
Livonia - 1084
Redford - 7530

Miles Handy(R) - 14091
Dearborn Heights - 4317
Livonia - 1275
Redford(his home) - 8499

Libertarian Candidate - 907 votes.

I hope Miles Handy runs again. If he has help, he can win.
