“I think it’s unfortunate that the governor thinks this is what we’re worth,” Gilmore said Friday.

An open seat for a year means one less year of new deserted buildings.

And no run off elections in MI. Simple majority is all that will be needed.

Something similar happened in New Hampshire in the 1970s. Senator Norris Cotton died in the year his seat was up. The governor called a special election for the unexpired term for the same day the full term was being elected, and the same two candidates ran.

The Republican won the general election, but the Democrat won the special election. When asked why, one voter said, “Well, he always wanted to be a senator, and how much damage can he do in two months?”

This is wrong. It was done in NYS and a district there was denied a vote in the House on Obamacare. The then gov refused to call for a prompt special election after Eric Massa resigned and the seat was vacant for the Obamacare vote and many others.

One wonders if a year without Conyers will be better or worse than no representation at all.

Michael Gilmore, a Detroit attorney who is running for the seat, said not having representation in the House for nearly a year is unfair to residents.

What you Dem politicians have done to Detroit is unfair to residents...and criminal.

the eventual representative from this district will vote along with most of house Democrats on every issue.
And might get redistricted out of office following 2021 / 2022 redistricting when MI loses a set in Congress?
