Late Plans Develop For Gov's Race

Michigan's candidates for governor are making late campaign plans headed into the Aug. 3 primary.

Republican Rick Snyder will debut a TV ad featuring Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. on Tuesday. Ford endorsed the Ann Arbor businessman last year.

Republican Attorney General Mike Cox will be joined by ex-Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee at a campaign stop in Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Other Republicans on the primary ballot campaigning this week are Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra and state Sen. Tom George.

Democrats on the primary ballot are Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero and House Speaker Andy Dillon.
