CANTON TWP – Director of Policy and Outreach at Equality Michigan, Sommer Foster, announced her run for Canton Township Board of Trustees.
Foster is one of seven candidates seeking a seat on the Board. She has served on the Canton Library Board of Trustees and currently serves as Vice President of the Canton Democratic Club and as Vice Chair of the 11th District Democrats. Foster worked with Trustee Sneideman and LaJoy to bring a human rights ordinance to the township.
She is currently seeking 400 petition signatures to open her campaign committee. Foster would become the only black member of the board, if elected.
According to the last U.S. Census, Canton's population spiked 18.1 percent. Foster is fighting an uphill battle to be just one of three Democrats to be elected to the township Board in decades.
Foster can be reached at[email protected].
