Not true, historically Mt. Clemens and Macomb county used to be strong democratic but over the years, prosperity moved in and the GOP took over. Bonior was from my district and after the last redistricting, he saw the handwriting on the wall and ran for governor, allowing Candice Miller to take over his job. FWIW, Miller has done an outstanding job and I think she will remain in office for a very, very long time........
Macomb county is the best run county in the state and that is due to the republican control.
A few years ago there was a liberal ding bat, I can’t remember her name right now but she was a Macomb county rep before she was “redistrict” out of existence.
It’s true Macomb are a majority republican county but the Dem's are not that far behind. I think it’s only a matter of time before the whole tri-county becomes Democrat.
As more jobs are lost and the taxes going up, people are starting to move out of the state and usually those are republican leading voters. Sterling Heights wants to bring in Iraqi immigrants, which will no doubt vote for Democrats.
I just don’t see the future of Michigan looking good. There are too many Democrats in power and too many voters willing to vote them back in office.
