Dearborn Rep. George Darany Announces Reelection Campaign

The Dearborn resident and former City Councilman announced his 2012 run on Tuesday.

Dearborn state Rep. George T. Darany wants another two years.

Darany, who won his seat in 2010 after serving on Dearborn City Council, announced Tuesday that he is running for reelection as state representative for Michigan’s 15th House District. The Democrat said his job serving Dearborn in the legislature is not done.

"It’s unfortunate, but the middle class, our kids, and our seniors were forgotten during the last year and a half by the legislature,” Darany said in a statement. “We’ve seen a tax on our seniors, cuts to our classrooms, and unnecessary burdens placed on our working families through the reduction of the homestead property tax credit and the elimination of charitable tax credits - all to give large corporations a massive tax break.

"I have worked hard to ensure Dearborn’s voice is strongly represented in Lansing by opposing these efforts and will continue the fight for my neighbors and my hometown.”

In his first term, Darany's efforts focused on fighting tax increases, as well as rallying on behalf of public schools. He hosted , as well as supporting .

Prior to his election to legislature, Darany served on the Dearborn City Council for four years. Darany also owned and operated a small business–the Classic Trolley Company.

Darany is active in the Dearborn Rotary Club, Dearborn Goodfellows, and he has been an active participant with the Dearborn Firefighters Burn Drive.

“Our government needs to get back to serving the people,” Darany said. “The majority of Michiganders aren’t corporate CEOs with rich golden parachutes, they’re struggling families that are in jeopardy of being left behind by Lansing. I am anxious to continue working toward turning Michigan around and making sure our citizens, from our youngest to our oldest, are given the support they need to succeed.”

Darany says his job is not finished in Lansing. Really? What has he done - do we really need another weak politician representing us in Lansing wasn't the Polidori years bad enough? Who can we get to run against him?
Tired of business as usual politicians who represent Dearborn!

What has George Darany done? Did you read the story? You need to be asking "what has George Darany not done!" He has been amazing. He is far from a "business as usual politician." He has brought the 15th district to life again in Lansing. You really need to check out your facts-even though the facts were right there for you to read in "Black and White." Seriously...

Darany is a decent man. Lastly it's not as if a state Rep does anything anyways. He is about the best you'll get out of Dearborn.

Wasn't a major portion of the deficit a result of the failure of students to repay $$$millions inRead More student loans? There is a rumor that HFCC wants to forgive those loans and pass on the debt to Dearborn taxpayers. Was there due diligence regarding the awarding of these loans?

Hasn't even worked one day? Not one day in 15 years? Really? Not even credit for one day? When IRead More worked at the Press & Guide (which eliminated my position in a budget restructuring that has continued under various corporate owners at the P&G for a decade and a half, resulting in them moving their offices to Southgate and more recently just out-and-out eliminating their editor, sports editor and photographer) we had a policy of no anonymous letters to the editor. This was done because, while everyone has the right to express their opinion, putting a real name with an opinion meant people displayed more decorum and, well, less cowardice than is allowed in online comments from the shadows. Joseph, the benefit of post-employment health care after just eight years of service may have, in the early 1990s, been more acceptable in some way I can't figure (retention of key department heads has been cited as a reason, as was that it apparently mirrored a benefit for state officials), but it clearly was part of the excesses of Wayne County that was unjustifiable and unsustainable in the 2000s. This practice was ended two years ago by a resolution I introduced.
