In Ann Arbor, the issues are social services and the budget.

With Jeff Irwin running for the state house (see "Musical Chairs in Lansing"), four Democrats are seeking their party's nomination for his District Eleven seat on the county board of commissioners. The district runs from downtown to the southeast side, roughly overlapping Ann Arbor's Third Ward. It's one of two contested county commission primary races in the city.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
