The race to fill Rep. Mike McMcready’s (R-Bloomfield Hills) shoes in the state House’s 40th District is getting tighter with the addition of another Republican, Bloomfield Township Trustee Michael Schostak. Schostak, cousin to Bobby Schostak, former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, is a finance lecturer at the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University, and a recent (2016) addition to the township board, where some observers think he’s just gotten his feet wet. Long time fellow trustee Dave Buckley had informed his fellow trustees in January he was also thinking about getting aboard the 40th District train, but notified them in February he had reconsidered. Based on his inquisition-like behavior at recent meetings, it’s possible he’s looking to put down a stake in another race, whether in ‘18 or ‘20.
