Lt. Gov. John Cherry
A surprise to many, Lt. Governor John Cherry announced earlier today that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
In an email sent to campaign supporters earlier today, Cherry said he had accomplished only two of his three goals. He noted that he received more than 1,000 supporters and gathered more than half of the nominating signatures needed. However, he did secure enough money to make his campaign "fully viable."
Other Democratic candidates include Democratic state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith, Michigan State trustee George Perles and former Rep. John Freeman. House Speaker Andy Dillon, Dan Kildee and Lansing Virg Bernero are also three potential Democratic candidates.
