Former State Senator Gretchen
Whitmer files to run for governor
The previous Democratic minority leader is the first to enter 2018 race
An unnamed University of
Michigan anthropologist examined
the five-year-old mummified
remains of an unidentified body
Tuesday evening.
The body, found in a garage
behind a Detroit house, was in
the backseat of a ’90s Plymouth
Acclaim, the Detroit Free Press
reported. The skeleton was decayed
to the point it became necessary for
a specialist was asked to perform
the autopsy. Authorities said
the remains consisted of brown,
leathery bones fully clothed in
pants, a shirt and a sweater.
“They don’t know the sex or
approximate age, so that’s why they
need an anthropologist,” said Lloyd
Jackson, Wayne County Medical
Examiner’s Office spokesman, in a
statement Monday.
A prospective buyer of the
residential property found the body
when he looked in the detached
garage behind the house. The
current tenants of the house told
police of the property owner’s ban
on using the garage and insisted
they never went into it.
A spokesman for
the Detroit Police
Department told the
Detroit Free Press the
remains had likely been
there for “quite some
time” and the body has
been inspected, though
no specific information
can yet be determined
about the cause of death
or identity of the person.
The discovery
emerges after two recent
similar cases in Michigan.
According to the Free
Press, a 78-year old
Hazel Park resident was
found mummified in his home in
2016, and a repairman in Pontiac
discovered a mummy of a 44-year-
old woman when he was hired to
repair her foreclosed home in 2014.
Neither the University nor the
Wayne County Medical Examiner’s
Office were available to comment
on the autopsy findings at the time
of publication.

CAKE BY THE OCE AN
Gretchen Whitmer, former
Democratic
minority
leader
in the Michigan state senate
and lecturer at the Ford School
of Public Policy, announced
Tuesday that she has officially
filed the paperwork to run for
governor of Michigan in 2018.
Although
a
formal
announcement has not yet been
made — it is expected later this
month — Whitmer published
a statement on Medium and
sent an email to her supporters
regarding her intent to run.
“I remember when Michigan
was bold,” Whitmer wrote in her
email. “When we didn’t just face
challenges — we beat them.”
Whitmer also discussed her
desire to foster business growth,
fight for children and families,
and create “opportunities … to
enjoy our land and drink pure,
clean water.”
In the email, she also stressed
the
importance
of
actively
working toward solutions to
the issues the state faces. Her
rhetoric follows themes seen in
the 2016 presidential election
where President-elect Donald
Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders
(I–Vt.) focused on messages
of change within the political
system.
“For too long, our leaders
have been content to manage our
decline. We went from leading
the nation to lagging,” Whitmer
wrote. “We can do better. We
deserve better.”
Filing the paperwork is the
first step in Whitmer’s process
to run, and with it she is now
able to begin accepting financial
contributions to her campaign.
Whitmer,
who
served
in the Michigan House of
Representatives
from
2000
to 2006 and the Michigan
Senate from 2006 to 2015, most
recently served as the Ingham
County prosecutor. Her term
expired on Dec. 31, 2016. She
is the first person to put their
name in the 2018 gubernatorial
race.
LSA junior Collin Kelly, the
chair of College Democrats
chapter at the University of
Michigan, said while it is still
the beginning stages of the
race, he is optimistic about her
strengths.
“It’s still super early; we
don’t know who else is going to
run,” Kelly said. “But we know
she’s a strong candidate who
can rally the party … We’re
proud of all the work she’s
done (in her past positions).”
