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.” BRIEF: COUNCILMEMBER SABRA BRIERE ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES Election Results Watch Party WHAT: Join classmates at a non-partisan election results viewing party, where you can engage in democractic conversation with free snacks.

UMich is officially lit again 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. LYDIA MURRAY Daily Staff Reporter Read more at MichiganDaily.com
