The Detroit Free Press reports the results of the nominations at the state Democratic Convention. These are people to vote for.
Supreme Court: Diane Hathaway
UofM Board of Regents: Denise Illich, Laurence Deitch
WSU Board of Governors: Paul Massaron, Gary Pollard
MSU Board of Trustees: Dianne Byrum Diann Woodard
State Board of Ed. Kathleen Strauss, John Austin.
The Supreme Court position is important because Michigan's court has been rated the worst in the country for giving out sensible rulings. Alas, defeating an incumbent is very difficult (the last time it happened was 1984) because the sitting judge has plenty of time to raise a war chest while the challenger is identified a mere 60 days before the election.
The university board and state ed. positions are important because GOP would likely take the chance to introduce creationism nonsense.
