he May 14 filing deadline
for political office has come
and gone and so has the
short-lived campaign of
Debbie Schlussel.
On May 9, the 27-year-old filed
as a Republican candidate for
state representative in the 39th
District, Barbara Dobbs' seat.
Ms. Schlussel withdrew from the
race eight days later. "I filed be-
cause I thought now was the time
to run," said Ms. Schlussel, dur-
ing a phone interview from Wis-
consin. "I thought it would be a
good opportunity for West Bloom-
field to have a good state repre-
sentative.
"I withdrew after evaluating
the situation, looking at the field
of candidates and examining my
ability to fund-raise. I decided it
wasn't a good time to run after
all. ,,
