Raczkowski, Epstein to seek Trott’s House seat
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Republicans Rocky Raczkowski and Lena Epstein plan to seek a suburban Detroit House seat opening due to a retirement.
Raczkowski has previously run for both the U.S. House and Senate. He’s a businessman, Army veteran and former state lawmaker.
Second-term Republican Rep. Dave Trott of Birmingham announced last week that he wouldn’t seek re-election. The GOP-leaning 11th Congressional District includes parts of Oakland and Wayne counties and may become a bigger Democratic target.
Epstein earlier was running for U.S. Senate, but ended that bid Monday. She co-owns an automotive oil company and co-chaired President Donald Trump’s successful Michigan campaign.
Two former members of the Obama administration are running — Treasury official Haley Stevens and Homeland Security adviser Fayrouz Saad.

Registrants will receive their materials via e-mail with a link to the Court’s website (www.wcpc.us – Attorney Training – 2017 Attorney Training Materials).

Also, attorneys are welcome to bring laptops to the program to pull up the handouts during the training sessions from the Court’s website, and to following the PowerPoint presentations by the speakers. Only a limited number of power plugs are available on site.
The cost is $75 whether you attend one or both sessions. Registration forms may be obtained from the Chief Deputy Probate Register’s Office of the Wayne County Probate Court, 1305 Coleman A.
