. Ruth Fuller figures she's got
a chance at unseating incum-
bent Republican state Senator
Bill Bullard Jr. in November
because of her numbers in the primary
election earlier this month.
The only Democrat in the race for
the 15th District Senate seat, Fuller
garnered
about
15,000 votes
to Bullard's
13,500 —
in a
Republican
primary.
"I'm very
optimistic. I
know I'm
going to
have to go
door to door
and work
very hard on
this, but the
figures show Democrat S. Ruth Fuller
I do have a
chance — a good chance," she said.
But Bullard, who is seeking a sec-
ond term, called the tally "meaning-
less."
"The primary is a lot different than
a general election, when a lot more
people vote. It's a Republican district.
If you assume I'd get 60 percent of
[Barbara] Dobb's votes, then I'd win
the Senate election. After a primary,
the parties do tend to stick together,"
he said.
Bullard, who also served as a state
representative, beat out Dobb by
2,500 votes in a two-way race to rep-
resent a heavily Republican area that
includes West Bloomfield, Commerce
Township, Milford Township, Novi
and Farmington Hills. Because of
term limits, Dobb was barred from
seeking another term as a state repre-
sentative.

public office, is a member of the 1 Ith
Congressional District Democratic
Caucus, which, she said, urged her to
run and contributed $1,000 toward
her campaign, boosting her coffers to
$1,500. She assumes the county
Democratic party is behind her, but
isn't actively seeking its support.
"In Lansing, the party is working
hard for me," Fuller said, adding that
she has the endorsement of the National
Organization of Women (NOW).
Gary Kohut, chairman of the
Oakland County Democratic
Committee, said there's only so
much money to go around and,
typically, the party will threw its
financial weight into areas where a
candidate has a fighting chance.
Fuller, he said, is running in a dis-
trict with a small base of
Democrats, but the party will sup-
port her
as much
as it can
through
phone
calling
and the
like.

signs and is expanding her canvassing
efforts beyond Farmington Hills and
West Bloomfield, her hometown.
She explained that she is running
because she has a sister with mental
illness and is distressed at the dimin-
ishing mental health care services in
the state. Workers are under-trained,
agencies are understaffed and state
facilities have all but disappeared, she
pointed out.
