JUMP-START 2024
State House Rep. Natalie Price (D-Berkley, Birmingham, Detroit) appears to be getting a head start with a door-to-door effort 16 months before the balloting next year in her district that includes part of Birmingham and Bloomfield Township along with parts of south Oakland communities and a portion of Detroit. That’s right. Volunteers were knocking on doors – old style – passing out postcards in mid-July. There was even a report that Price herself was spotted in one Birmingham neighborhood in the downtown area. While Price suffered a minor loss in the one precinct of Bloomfield Township in 2022 that is part of her district, she handily carried five of the seven precincts of Birmingham that she now represents. The former Berkley councilwoman carried the Oakland portion of District 5 by nearly 69 percent and she took 78 percent of the overall general election vote. Evidently Price is taking no chance that the 56-54 Democrat control of the House will be lost because she fails in 2024.
