Ypsilanti Township Elections
I was hoping that some candidates were missing from my Publius ballot, but eWashtenaw also shows 4 Ypsilanti Township candidates running unopposed. Remember William T. Lawson? Not only is he unopposed, there are 2 positions open.
Other than Ruth Ann Jamnick, all of the Ypsilanti Township candidates are part of Team Stumbo, responsible for internet filters on Ypsilanti Library computers and accused of chilling free speech with a lawsuit against a community newspaper.
Even in races where it looks like there is some choice, there really isn't. Of the 4 candidates running for 2 Township Trustee positions, 3 are of the Stumbo clan.
10 people, 9 of which are Democrats, are running for 9 positions on the Township Parks Commision. Instead of voting for 9, I'm only going to vote for the Republican in hopes that she'll bring a different veiw from the others to the commision.
Given my options, here are my current voting plans:
Ruth Ann Jamnick (D) - Ypsilanti Township Supervisor
WRITE-IN - Ypsilanti Township Clerk
WRITE-IN - Ypsilanti Township Treasurer
David Ostrowski (D) and WRITE-IN - Ypsilanti Township Trustee
WRITE-IN and WRITE-IN - Ypsilanti Township Constable
Christine Adams (R)- Ypsilanti Township Park Commisions
Very sad.
Anyone who would like to be a write-in candidate, please leave a comment.
