will oppose the re-election of Mark Brewer for party chairman, a post he has held for 18 years. 

Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Car Levin and the Democratic House members are urging delegates to the Democratic State Convention on Feb. 23 to support Lon Johnson of Kalkaska for the party’s top post.

"We believe that the combination of challenges and opportunities that dramatically confront Michigan Democrats today have called on us as elected Democrats to urge a new and inclusive chapter in MDP leadership," they said in a letter.
