Royal Oak Mayor Michael "Mike" Fournier was appointed from the Commission to the Mayor's Seat earlier this year when former Mayor Jim Ellison left to serve as State Representative. Now Fournier is up for election as Mayor, and he is being challenged for the seat by Mike Skinner.
Fournier was first elected to the Commission in 2011. He's also served on the Library Board and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee and been a volunteer in his children's schools. He works in sales for a Tier 1 automotive company.
