Well, folks, I learned today that Nate Shannon is not running a modest campaign for Sterling Heights City Council.
In a Sunday Macomb Daily news story in which I contributed information about the Sterling Heights race, I wrote that Shannon was running a “more modest campaign” compared to fellow challenger Doug Skrzyniarz, whose election bid was aided by former governor Jim Blanchard.”
As it turns out, Shannon, 38, has snagged many of the same endorsements that Skrzyniarz earned – the UAW, AFL-CIO, Michigan Carpenters and Millwrights, the Sterling Heights Firefighters Union and the Sterling Height Police Officers Association.
Shannon also has gained support from the Warren Education Association and the Utica Education Association. A first-time candidate, he teaches economics, government and history to high school kids at L’Anse Creuse’s Riverside Academy.
Shannon let us know in no uncertain terms that he has knocked on 4,000 doors out on the campaign trail and he is in this race to win it.
As the Nov. 5 elections approach, Shannon and Skrzyniarz are the challengers in a field of eight candidates that features six incumbents running for re-election.
