Months after Joan Bauer won election to her third and final term as state representative; a longtime Ingham County politician is eyeing a run for her seat.
Andy Schor, a Democrat and eight-year Ingham County commissioner, has formed an exploratory committee to examine a run for the solidly Democratic Lansing and Lansing Township district.
Schor was elected in November to another two-year term as commissioner, and he insists a potential run for Bauer’s seat in 2012 would not interfere with his duties as commissioner.
Schor is likely the first of a handful of Democrats who will run for the post. Schor, who also serves as an advocate for the Michigan Municipal League, says fundraising for his campaign officially begins on April 27.
