Straus, a longtime educator
who is active on the board of
the Jewish Community
Council, has her eye set on
one of them.
Ms. Straus, of Detroit, a
former staff member of the
Michigan Association of
School Boards who recently
retired as president of the
Center for Creative Studies
in Detroit, will join Roman '-
Bochenek on the Democratic
ticket.
If she wins, Ms. Straus will
be the second Jewish woman
on the state school board.

EMILY's List, a political ac-
tion committee that raises
money for Democratic pro-
choice female candidates,
net thousands of dollars at a
party at the home of David
and Doreen Hermelin.
Now she is working to br-

supported by women's
groups to Detroit. First on
the list of visitors is Carol
Moseley Braun, the Cook
County Recorder of Deeds
who scored an upset victory
in March over incumbent Il-
linois Senator Alan Dixon.
The candidate for U.S.
Senate will visit Detroit on
Tuesday, at a noon $100-a-
plate luncheon at the Gem
Theater. The event comes at
the urging of Ms. Pincus,
Barbara and Sen. Carl
Levin, Lori and Sen. Don
Riegle and Detroit Mayor
Coleman Young.
If she wins, Ms. Braun,
who is campaigning on a pro-
Israel platform, would be the
first black female senator.
Next on Ms. Pincus' agen-
da, she hopes to host an
event in Detroit for Lynn 7-

nominee for the Penn-

she is pro-Israel.
