etirement is not part
of Anne Silver's
vocabulary.
"Retirement in Florida
sounds boring," says the 75-
year-old attorney, mother,
wife and grandmother. "I
am not a rocking chair
bubbie."
Instead, the active probate
attorney is thinking about a
new line of work — politics.
She is one of six Republican
candidates vying for the
65th District Michigan
House of Representative
seat that was vacated by
Michael Bouchard, elected
last month to the state
Senate.
"Age is only a state of
mind. I never really talk
about it," says Mrs. Silver,
who is seeking her first
elected office. "I feel like I
am 25.
"This is just an extension
of what I've already done,"
Mrs. Silver says. "I'm a
compassionate person, a
community activist and I
want to serve to give some-
thing back to the commun-
ity."
Mrs. Silver, the only senior
citizen in the race, says the
aging community needs
more advocates in Lansing.
She faces Kathy Dalton, a
business-woman active in
community affairs who has
the endorsement of pro-
choice groups; Nancy Mc-
Connell, vice chair of the
Oakland County Board of
Commissioners who is en-
dorsed by some local media;
Rex Martin, who also has
received favorable media at-
tention; and candidates
Flint Hind and John Ja-
mian.
Registered Democrats and
Republicans living in the
65th district, which com-
prises Birmingham, Bloom-
field Hills, Bloomfield
Township, Pontiac and part
of Lake Angelus, can vote in
the primary Aug. 6. The
Republican winner will face
Democrat Kelly Allen in the
Aug. 27 special election.
"I suppose timing has a lot
to do with one's decisions in
life," Mrs. Silver says. "At a
recent meeting of the Wo-
men's Bar Association,
Republican Ombudsman
Judith Miller spoke pas-
sionately and persuasively
about the importance of
more women entering the
political arena and running
for legislative office."

Anne Silver:
Five opponents.

Two weeks after Mrs.
Silver heard the speech, the
House seat became vacant.
"I decided my time was
now."
Mrs. Silver, who is pro-
choice and calls herself a
protector of individual
rights, hasn't received any
major endorsements in this
race. But she won't let that
stop her. She loves a good
challenge.
"As a probate attorney,
I've long been an advocate
and protector of the rights of
individuals, from small chil-

chair bubble."

dren to the elderly. I was
only able to impact people on
a one-to-one basis," she says.
"As a legislator, I can touch
the lives of thousands of
people in my district and
throughout the state."
Mrs. Silver has served on
many community boards as
president of the Women of
Maimonides, vice president
of the B'nai B'rith Bar-
risters, Jewish National
Fund,' the Women's Bar
Association and the Wo-
men's Commercial Real
Estate Group.
Next week, she will be in-
stalled as president of the
Detroit District of the
Zionist Organization of
America. •
She says the political cam-
paign has been costly,
estimating she has spent
$15,000 for this venture in
the last month. She has been
working on the campaign
trail 12 hours a day.
nne step at a time,"
she say:-. "Right now, I am
working to win." 0
