Eaton County prosecutor runs for Michigan attorney general

Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd is running for Michigan attorney general in the November 3 midterm election, challenging Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit for the Democratic-held office. Lloyd, a Republican, cites more than two decades of experience in Eaton County, a purple region, and has raised a cumulative $1.2 million this cycle, with an additional $141,348 reported after the October 18 filing deadline.
