Ann Arbor City Council
Member Sabra Briere officially
announced today her last day
in office will be Dec. 5 via an
online letter.
Briere has served as Ward
1 Representative since 2007,
making her the longest seated
member of Council.
An Ann Arbor resident
since 1973, Briere wrote that
her decision to resign was made
due to “happy circumstances,”
and has nothing to do with
negative feelings about her
position or Ann Arbor. Rather,
she wrote that it is because she
will be moving to Santa Rosa,
California, with her husband to
be closer to her son.
“This is a bittersweet
decision,” Briere wrote. “It has
been, and remains, one of my
greatest pleasures and honors to
serve you and our community.”
In her tenure as a local
politician over the past several
decades, along with serving as
a councilmember Briere was
also the Ann Arbor Democratic
Party Chair in the early 1990’s
and ran for mayor of Ann Arbor
in 2014, finishing second in the
Democratic primary.
During her time on Council,
Briere has focused on a range
of issues, from development to
civic participation.
Briere has campaigned
as a candidate of the citizens,
focusing much of her race
for mayor on community
conversation.
“One of the first issues
I brought to Council was to
advocate for increasing citizen
participation – in zoning, in
development, in the budget
process, in safety – and I
believe that focus on citizen
participation will continue,”
Briere said in her letter.
Briere has also advocated
for varied and affordable
housing, increased pedestrian
and cyclist safety and access.
She wrote that she still hopes
the City will build more
sidewalks and bike paths.
Under the city’s charter,
the Council must vote on a
replacement to fill Briere’s
seat. Over the next month,
the Council will be accepting
applications for a new
representative, according to
Briere’s letter. The interviews
will be held on November
28, with citizens able to
communicate to the Council
and make recommendations
throughout the following week.
Briere said she would like the
seat filled as quickly as possible
so the Council can get back
to regular business with full
participation.
In her letter, she urged the
city to work toward its best
possible future with full citizen
engagement, writing that she
trusts residents will help this
process.
“I found a home in Ann
Arbor,” Briere wrote. “And
more especially, I have really
enjoyed having you as my
neighbors. I’ve benefitted
from living in a community
with curious, engaged people
who have an enthusiastic
commitment to seeing Ann
Arbor become the best
community possible – even as
we haven’t always agreed on
what that means.”

Clinton stops at Grand Valley State
in final appeal for student vote
Event one of many for Democratic presidential nominee on election eve
GRAND RAPIDS — In one
of her final campaign stops of
the election season, Democratic
presidential
nominee
Hillary
Clinton spoke to a crowd of 4,000
at Grand Valley State University
about her vision for the country in
an attempt to galvanize voters one
day before the election.
Michigan’s
position
as
a
potential swing state has been
highlighted
by
on
influx
of
campaign
events
from
both
parties just prior to Election Day.
President Barack Obama visited
Ann Arbor Monday morning to
campaign for Clinton, and later
that night, Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump and his
vice presidential nominee Gov.
Mike Pence (R–Ind.) also rallied in
Grand Rapids. Surrogates for both
have also visited throughout the
week.
For the majority of this election
cycle, Clinton has led Trump in
the Michigan polls, with the most
recent RealClearPolitics polling
average putting Clinton 3 points
ahead of Trump. However, in the
Michigan primary election in
March, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.)
upset Clinton to win the state after
polls showed her with a 21.4-point
lead prior to the election. Clinton’s
lead has also narrowed in the past
weeks.
In
Allendale,
Clinton
encouraged the audience to go
vote the following day, asking them
what example they wished to set
for future generations.
“When your kids and your
grandkids ask what you did in 2016,
when everything was on the line, I
hope you will be able to say that you
voted for a better, stronger, fairer
America,” she said. “An America
where we build bridges — not
walls, and an America where we
prove that, yes, love trumps hate.”
At the event, Clinton touted
her higher education reform plan,
marked by a goal for tuition-free
college for families who earn less
than $125,000 per year. Following
a primary season in which Sanders
received a significant amount of
support from college students
for his tuition-free college plan,
Clinton and Sanders collaborated
on the renewed reform plan.
“I am proud of the campaign
that Bernie Sanders and I ran,” she
said. “We wanted to figure out how
to produce on some of the goals we
both shared.”
Clinton also spent much of her
speech highlighting the differences
between her and her opponent
and
criticizing
the
economic
plans Trump has laid out. She
emphasized the middle class, small
businesses and renewable energy
in her economic plan.
“We’ve got to have an economy
for everybody, not just those at the
top,” she said. “If you believe as I
do that America thrives when the
middle class thrives, then you have
to vote tomorrow.”
In introducing Clinton, Sen.
Debbie Stabenow (D–Mich.) also
criticized Trump on the economy,
noting he has contracted work
overseas and saying his primary
interest is his personal profit.
“Donald Trump has lived his
whole life for himself,” she said.
“This guy has zero credibility on
jobs … the only change Donald
Trump cares about is the change in
his own pocket.”
Clinton also stressed that she is
a proponent of equal pay and paid
family leave, two issues that have
been cornerstones of her campaign.
Ivanka Trump, Trump’s daughter,
has also highlighted these issues
while campaigning on his behalf.
Clinton
said
the
contrasts
between her and Trump are clear,
noting he has accused her of taking
political advantage of her gender.
