U.S. Rep. Sander Levin, a Democrat from Southfield, and Oakland County Com- missioner John Pappa- george, a Republican from Troy, have run a relatively quiet and exceptionally clean race. Mudslinging, both can- didates agree, is not their style. Yet that's the only issue upon which they agree. Mr. Levin, 61, a con- gressman for the past decade, for years sat comfor- tably serving the old 17th District. He was considered unbeatable. Mr. Pappageorge, a retired U.S. Army colonel, says his experiences have led to this campaign. He wants to get back into public service. The 12th District includes just a small portion of Southfield, but it carries Berkley, Clawson, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak and Troy. Also in the district are five cities in Macomb County: Sander Levin Center Line, Sterling Heights, Warren, Utica and a small part of Eastpointe. Mr. Levin is at odds with President George Bush over many issues, including the recent sale of F-15 jet fighter planes to Saudi Arabia and Mr. Bush's veto of the Family Leave Act, which would have mandated businesses with more than 50 employees to provide 12 weeks of unpaid leave for John Papageorge employees on maternity leave or who must care for a sick family member. "The decision on the F-15s was purely political," Mr. Levin says. "It was a last- minute effort to put together a jobs program. It was strict- ly to gain votes in Missouri (where the F-15 jets are manufactured). "But it is at the expense of Israel," Mr. Levin says. "This gives the Saudis - modern airplane with day and night flying capacity. It gives them advanced radar. "It will escalate an arms race," Mr. Levin said. "It is a desperate political act." Since he did not bounce any checks at the House Bank, Mr. Levin hasn't fallen prey to his opponents on that issue. He discusses a divided Washington government that makes work difficult on Capitol Hill. He blames Mr. Bush, whom he says vetoes too much legislation. Mr. Pappageorge, also 61, tells a different story. He says Congress hasn't given Mr. Bush much worthwhile legislation. The president has no choice but to use his power of veto, Mr. Pap- pageorge says. Mr. Pappageorge supports the president on the sale of F-15s to the Saudis. He does not believe it puts Israel at any risk. Rather, Mr. Pap- pageorge says, such sales will help the Saudis protect American interests in the Middle East. Mr. Levin believes Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and Israel must be protected by the United States. He disagreed with Mr. Bush when the president withheld loan guarantees. ill
