ROYAL OAK –
State Representative Jim Townsend, (D-Royal Oak), a strong and consistent supporter of LGBT rights, was targeted for a recall earlier this year, in part because of his strong support for enumerated anti-bullying legislation.
Although the recall effort failed to garner enough signatures to make it to the ballot, Townsend expects that anti-LGBT activists will mount a serious challenge to his reelection in 2012.
To support Townsend's campaign, Equality Michigan Pride PAC and local LGBT donors are gathering from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 8 at Pronto! in Royal Oak to raise money for his campaign. Tickets are $100, or other contributions accepted.
