Macomb: Fouts, Colegio advance in Warren mayor's race
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts (R) will face off in November against city council member Kelly Colegio in his bid for a fourth term at the helm of Michigan’s third-largest city.
According to final, unofficial results Tuesday night, Fouts had 58% of the vote, with Colegio garnering 23.6%. The next highest vote-getter, Kristina Lodovisi, who ran for state Senate last year, had 6.4%.
