WCDP rescinds endorsement of House District 46 candidate Maurice Imhoff

The Democratic candidate to represent the new House DIstrict 46, Maurice Imhoff, has withdrawn from the race after serious accusations surfaced around his conduct as a teenager, incidents that were not disclosed. This is extremely disappointing to local Democrats as there is no alternative Democratic candidate. The Washtenaw County Democratic Party Executive Board has joined with other Democratic organisations in rescinding its endorsement. Here is their statement:

"The Washtenaw County Democratic Party Executive Board has been made aware of serious accusations against Maurice Imhoff, candidate for State House District 46. Based on these accusations, we have immediately rescinded our endorsement of Mr. Imhoff.

Our endorsement in any campaign materials of any kind is null and void."
