I am pleased to announce that my campaign has established and maintained frontrunner status in terms of contributions raised from individuals and overall by raising over $17,000 in 2009, well over that raised by my competitors.

The 2010 Annual Campaign Financial Reports to the Secretary of State office were due on Feb 1, 2010 and were available electronically to the public.

I am grateful to my supporters, volunteers and campaign committee for their hard work and generosity in these difficult economic times and am encouraged by this evidence of broad support for my candidacy and energized for the major fundraising and campaign work ahead. We have only just begun.

This seat is currently held by State Rep. Doug Bennett, who is term limited and endorsing me to replace him in the Michigan State House of Representatives.

Thank you all,

Marcia Hovey-Wright
