Tuesday, July 9, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Fiv Tuesday, July 9, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Fivi Dems By DAN RUBEN FOUR LIBERAL Democrats are seeking the nomination for Congress from this district. The winner of the August 6th primary will face Marvin Esch in the fall campaign. The can- didates are Ron Egnor, an Ypsilanti attorney; Marj Lan- sing, a professor at Eastern Michigan University; Ed Pierce, the founder of the Sum- mit Medical Center for low in- come people; and John Reu- ther, the nephew of the late Wal- ter Reuther, and a former cam- paign organizer for George Mc- Govern. All of the candidates are run- ning on platforms that call for the impeachment of President Nixon, strict new campaign fi- nance reforms, greater con- gressional control over the bud- get, and a substantial increase in funding for public service. These programs would shift the present burden on lower and middle income people to the wealthy and the corpora- tions. The campaign has been low key, with the contenders focus- ing their attacks on Esch and the Nixon administration. Still, each has individual perspec- tives and priorities and they outline strongly believe that they would bring unique assets to the Con- gress. Egnor emphasizes his study of parliamentary proce- dure in the Congress. He claims that in - order "to deal with the divided Democratic party, you've got to know the ways of Congress." LANSING POINTS out that there are only fourteen women in the Congress and that 55 per cent of the members are law- yers. "Congress needs an in- fusion of members from all walks of life," she maintains. "The second Congressional dis- trict, with more full time col- lege students than any other.. district in the country, needs a representative who is more than a fair weather friend of education." Pierce contends his exper- ience as one of the few family Sdoctors in Congress would be invaluable "in formulating an economical and efficient health care plan." Reuther maintains that his candidacy ishavinga positive impact on incumbent Marvin Esch. Esch, he points out, changed his position on im- peachment the day before Renu- ther was to announce his can- didacy. fall issues in The second Congressional dis- trict, comprising Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Plymouth, Monroe, and Livonia is highly diverse. Any Democrat hoping to un- seat Marvin Esch will have to win the support of the District's sharply divided Democratic factions. The most volatile issues in the district include busing, abor- tion, amnesty, and the issue of crime and drugs. Egnor and Reuther said they were opposed to busing for in- tegration purposes though they strongly opposed a constitu- tional amendment which would ban busing. Lansing said she favors the improvement of all public schools through "massive fed- eral funding." Pierce, an integrationist, says that "where busing is legally mandated we must emphasize such concerns as the safety and convenience of all individ- uals involved.
