DEARBORN HEIGHTS – State Representative Bob Constan last week announced his candidacy for the open 8th District seat on the Wayne County Commission, citing his vision for what he sees as the vital role of the Commission in Wayne County Government.

“Our next Wayne County Commissioner must bring a new approach to the office,” Constan said. “The residents of the new 8th District must be represented vigorously and effectively.”

Constan, a lifelong Democrat and resident of Dearborn Heights, hopes to improve what he sees as the role of the Wayne County Commission in County Government.

He is a former member of the Dearborn Heights City Council serving his final term as a state rep.

Constan is one of few reps with a 100 percent attendance mark and voting record. The new 8th district includes all of Dearborn Heights and Redford Township and a southeast section of Livonia, south of Five Mile Rd. and east of Middlebelt. Constan also chaired the Government Operations Committee during the last legislative session and is the current Minority Chair of the House Tax Policy Committee in Lansing, among other committee assignments.
