Conyers seat to remain vacant until November election
Michigan Governor announces John Conyers seat will not be filled until the November election leaving the 13th district vacant for nearly a year. The vacancy could lead to two ballots in August and November with a possible interim appointee until January 2019 if a voter selects one candidate for the short term and another for a full two year term. The decision faced criticism from Michael Gilmore who called it unfair to residents. Snyder consulted Wayne County leaders and the 13th District Democratic Party backed the move.
