Current Reps - Open, Marty Knollenberg termed out
2010 Results - Old District (41st)
Marty Knollenberg - 22,751
Ed Spillers - 11,571
This is an open seat based in Troy and Clawson. It's unchanged with redistricting. Troy leans republican but is getting more competitive. Clawson is very competitive and voted for Gore, Bush, and Obama.
I'll be surprised if this seat flips, even in an open seat. However, it could be a darkhorse if 2012 is a disaster. I know there's been county commissioner seats competitive in this area in the past. This area does generally lean republican with Troy, McCain/Obama being a big exception.

Do you think Janice Daniels, current Mayor of Troy elected on a pure Tea Party, small government platform, has her eye on this open House seat?
She's getting her name in the papers, but and City Government can both help and hurt a run. Politics can get nasty there. I don't think Daniels will get a free pass if she runs.
Among Commissioners, Gosselin's termed out for state rep, but Mike Bosnic of Clawson is not and depending on redistricting could make a run. Bosnic won a rematch in 2010 with Burns. Bosnic/Burns seat is Clawson based, so it's not easy for anybody to win. I'll be surprised if Bosnic doesn't run for state rep.
Burns could make it interesting for the dems. He's won there, but lost there, to Bosnic.
That's not counting the self funding businessmen who may run, which are likely more numerous in Troy than elsewhere.
