Brighton Township Treasurer Announces Run for State House

Brighton Township Treasurer Lana Theis has announced that she will be running for a seat in Michigan's House of Representatives in 2014.

She will be seeking the seat for the 42nd District, currently held by Bill Rogers of Genoa Township. Rogers cannot run again due to term limits.

In additon to her current role as treasurer, Theis also serves on the boards of the Brighton Area Fire Authority, the Livingston County Treasurer’s Association, Livingston County’s Meals on Wheels, and the Livingston County Republican Party.

“I’ve been working to make my community better as a mom and as a local elected official. My focus has been on affecting legislation for the people of this community for a very long time. Whether it is affecting a local ordinance or limiting taxes at a state level, I’ve been working at keeping government responsive to our residents. As a legislator, I’ll be able to do that even more. I was born in Michigan, I’m raising my kids here, and I pray I’ll see my grandkids raised here,” said Theis in a statement.

Theis is a Graduate of California State University, Fullerton with a bachelor's in biology and a minor in chemistry.
