Ruth Fuller Is Seeking
County Commission Seat
Ruth Fischel Fuller is seeking the
Democratic nomination for county
commissioner in the 17th Distrct.
The 17th includes the southern por-
tion of West
Bloomfield,
Beverly Hills,
Southfiled
Township and a
part of Bloomfield
Township.
Fuller, 57, a
West Bloomfield
resident, ran for
state senator in

1998 and for state
representative in

Married to Arnold Fuller and the
mother of three adult children, Fuller
is the chief operating officer of

program director for educational
forums. She is immediate past chair-

Fuller is active with the Alliance
for the Mentally Ill, based in
Southfield, where she is drafting a
resolution to be submitted to the
state legislature regarding increasing
and stabilizing funding for the men-

As a county commissioner, Fuller
would strive to increase services for
the mentally ill. She hopes to

additional funding from the state for
the maintenance of the roads. She
believes that county commissioners
should promote and support the pro-
posed metropolitan art tax.
