Michigan legislator who quit over affair cover-up to run again

DETROIT | BY SERENA MARIA DANIELS

A former state legislator in Michigan who resigned last week after revelations that he and a fellow conservative Republican lawmaker had covered up their extramarital affair announced on Friday he will run to regain his former seat.

Former state Representative Todd Courser said he decided to file on Friday to run for the 82nd district seat after getting the go-ahead from his wife and children.

Courser told Reuters he wanted to give voters in his district a chance to voice their opinion on whether he should serve in the legislature through their vote.

Former state Representative Cindy Gamrat, with whom Courser had an affair, said on Thursday she also had filed to run in the November primary to fill her own vacant seat after she was expelled from the legislature last week.
