Cindy Gamrat has filed to run in special election for old MI House seat

Cindy Gamrat is not giving up so easily.

The former Michigan Representative who was expelled for misconduct in office has filed paperwork to run in the special election for her old seat, according to the Allegan County Clerk's office.

Just last week, Gamrat was escorted from the House floor following her expulsion.

Former Representative Todd Courser, who resigned from his position, and Gamrat have been embroiled in a sex scandal for the past month, during which they admitted to misusing public funds.

ABSOLUTELY SHAMELESS! WILL THE VOTERS LET HER BACK IN?

The legislature has two of her proposed billls still on the docket...anti-abortion, anti-marriage equality. She's made of steel, or something else. She must have powerful backers, or a powerful sense of entitlement.
