Expelled Michigan Lawmaker Will Run Again

Former Michigan state Rep. Cindy Gamrat (R), who was expelled from office six days ago after she and a fellow lawmaker were found to have covered up their extramarital affair, said she has filed to run in the November primary election to fill her own vacant seat, Reuters reports.

Police have began “a criminal investigation into the use of tax funds to cover up the affair she had with fellow lawmaker Todd Courser. Both are Republicans and members of the Tea Party movement.”
