The Associated Press reports Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will make campaign stops in Michigan this week:
From the AP:
A campaign spokesman said Tuesday the ex-Massachusetts governor would attend a Grand Rapids fundraiser Tuesday night and another in Detroit on Wednesday. On Thursday, Romney is to campaign at a Livonia diner and attend a business round table in Detroit. They're his first Michigan stops since formally entering the race last week.
Romney's Michigan campaign staff has been revealed. From the Detroit Free Press:
- Lori Wortz, senior advisor - once served as Dick Posthumus' chief of staff
- Rob Macomber, state director - previously served as director of candidate and party assistance for former state Republican Party chairman Saul Anuzis
- Lauren Rakolta, state campaign finance director - daughter of John Rakolta, head of construction firm Walbridge Aldinger who served as a national chairman for the Romney campaign in 2008
- Bryce Sandler, state deputy finance director, once served as finance director for former U.S. Rep. Joe Knollenberg
In 2008, Romney won the Republican presidential primary in Michigan. He eventually pulled out of the race after John McCain won the Florida primary.
