Michigan’s 13th Senate District includes West Bloomfield, Keego Harbor, Orchard Lake Village, Sylvan Lake, Northville, Northville Township, Novi, Walled Lake, Plymouth and Plymouth Township. The district also encompasses parts of Farmington Hills, Novi Township and Commerce Township. Here, Democrat Sean Carlson and Republican Ryan Berman ran for a four-year term. Carlson won by 53% (nearly 72,000 votes), while Berman received 47% (more than 63,000 votes). In state House District 20, Democrat Noah Arbit won his reelection bid by 59% of the vote (nearly 31,000 votes), while S. David Sullivan received 41% (more than 21,000 votes). Arbit thanked residents for granting him a third term. “I am beyond humbled by your continued trust in me and thrilled to continue working my heart out for you, the people of this community I love,” Arbit said. The West Bloomfield Board of Trustees had two candidates vying for one vacant spot on the board — a partial term that will end Dec. 1, 2028. Democrat Amy Mindell received 77% of the vote with more than 21,000 votes. Her opponent Sean Lavine, with no party affiliation, received 22% of the vote with more than 6,100 votes. “I’m just honored and excited that the people of West Bloomfield chose me and my message to represent this community we all love,” Mindell said. “I intend to bring my proven commitment to service and my dedication to education forward for this community that I’m so proud to be a part of.” Lavine said the election was a very rewarding experience. “I’ve talked to people from all different backgrounds, from corner to corner of the township. I’ve never wanted to run for elected office before, but I thought I was in a position to add a new … background and experience to the township board that is currently missing,” Lavine said. “I plan to stay engaged. … Stay tuned.” The Keego Harbor City Council race had three candidates running for two seats, each with a three-year term. Corine Streng led the race by 42% — more than 600 votes. Mike Floyd received the second spot with 35% (more than 500 votes). Richard Kollins earned more than 23%, or nearly 350 votes. “I am actually really proud of our city — our new city manager, our clerk, our inspectors, the volunteers who worked the polls and the candidates who stepped up. …We all got along really well,” Streng said. “We’re working hard to make our city the best it can be. I am really proud of the voters, as well. Because everybody stepped up, showed up and did our jobs. I am very excited about Keego and what we have coming forward.” Floyd congratulated the other candidates, saying it takes courage to face public scrutiny. “I have tremendous respect for everyone who participated, regardless of the outcome,” Floyd said, thanking his supporters and everyone who participated in the election process. “The election was the easy part. Now the real work begins.” Two candidates also ran for one partial term on the Keego City Council that will end on Dec 31, 2027. Naomi Rivera earned the spot with 59%, or more than 550 votes. Amir Daiza received 41%, or nearly 400 votes. “As I prepare to take office, I’m looking forward to continuing to learn and listen. Throughout my campaign I’ve talked about moving Keego forward by ‘Protecting what we love, building what comes next.’ To me, a big part of that is making sure Keego Harbor continues to be a place we’re proud to call home, where everyone feels like their voice matters and they have a say in our city’s future,” Rivera said. “I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and I can’t wait to get to work.” One uncontested race was for West Bloomfield’s township supervisor, a term that ends Dec. 1, 2028, going to incumbent Jonathan Warshay. The Orchard Lake City Council was also uncontested, with two candidates running for two three-year terms. Here, the candidates were Suzanne Crawford and Anthony Stephen Castiglione. Sean J. O’Bryan also ran uncontested for a partial term on the Orchard Lake Council. On the Sylvan Lake City Council, three candidates ran uncontested for three seats that each carry a four-year term. The three unopposed candidates were Feather Buchanan, Luke Cassar and Michael Zubrzyck. </div></body>
