As Michigan Rep. John Conyers Jr. has resisted calls from within the Democratic Party to resign over allegations of sexual harassment, some people close to his grandnephew, Michigan Sen. Ian Conyers, have been asking a different question: When is the time for the 29-year-old to seriously consider running if there is a special election?

Apparently that time is now.

Reached by BuzzFeed News, Ian Conyers said he was focused on his re-election campaign for state Senate, but had given serious thought to running for his great uncle’s seat.

“If he resigns or retires, I will run for the seat,” he said. "The work of representing the working families must continue.”

There's a male heir! What a relief! Otherwise Debbie Dingell might have absorbed the fiefdom into her own territory.

And what a dapper looking SOB he is. He looks like a 1920's gangster.

What if one of the women he harassed shoots him, what then?

[GunsareOK]

Looks more dopey than dapper if you ask (axe) me.

[Maudeen]

All in the family.

[GunsareOK]

But he be runnin’

[CatOwner]

Honestly, I think a lot of people in this country need to be shot. Too bad it will likely be many innocent people and none of the those who reside in our governments.

[Citizen Soldier]

Wow! He looks trustworthy /sarcasm

[mvonfr]

Did he rape enough women to qualify?

[Impy]

We'll all be dead and there will still be a Dingell and Conyers in the US House!

If any of you want to buy a tommy gun, Prince Ian has some, bathtub gin as well.

“Vote for me, ladies. I’m a lot hotter than my great-great-great-great-great-grand uncle !”

Eek, just think, this kid could be in office until 2079 !

Honestly, I think a lot of people in this country need to be shot.

Like I always say, hung first, then shot.

The framers of the Constitution may have forbidden Americans from having titles of royalty, but it has done little good. Our ruling class is infested with wives of former politicians, sons of politicians, etc. it’s a sad commentary on human nature that when given the rare opportunity to be free, most will throw it away for the security of being ruled by a king.

I had forgotten Conyers had a grandnewphew in the State Senate, but then I recognized the picture.

Reports are Bobby Rush almost retired (filing closes Monday) in favor of his son but decided to run again.

[GnuThere]

I shall run, to continue the grifting and benefits!

"We'll all be dead and there will still be a Dingell and Conyers in the US House!"

Detroit has a serious nepotism problem.

[Nifster]

But of course because dynasty is what the dems are all about

[Nifster]

Or is as gay as they come

[Mark17]

But he be runnin’

I hope he keeps running till he is in Uganda.

[Lady Heron]

Looks trustworthy.

OK, I know you are not supposed to judge someone by their looks but he looks like a gangster in a 1920's film. He is just missing the Tommy Gun.

Let’s hope Conyers hangs in there to frustrate the inside-baseball stratagems of the Washington elites.
