Loren Bennett is a former two-term state Senator from a Democrat-voting district, the majority of which is in another Congressional district. He was elected in 1994, reelected in 1998, and was the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor in 2002 and hasn’t run for anything since. Perhaps a Michigan Freeper could tell us about his views.
Some are talking about Andrew Raczkowski also waging a wtite-in campaign, but how many people can spell his name?
If both Bennett and Rocky run as write-ins, Bentivolio will likely win by default. If just one of them runs, it should be a very competitive primary.
As for Rocky Raczkowski’s exceedingly difficult surname, that ‘s the first thing of which I thought. Even though MI election officials have said that misspellings of surnames count so long as the voter’s intent is clear, my concern is that some people will decide not to write-in Raczkowski for fear of misspelling the name. If Rocky were to run as a write-in, he should seek a ruling from the Secretary of State that votes for “Rocky” will count towards Raczkowski’s total.
