Democrats are readying to name their favorites Saturday for this fall's Michigan Supreme Court and education board races. Democrats can't actually nominate the candidates until their fall convention in September, so Saturday's votes will be nonbinding. Republicans will nominate their candidates in August. Candidates for the Wayne State University Board of Governors include Northville attorney Sandra Hughes O'Brien. The two Democrats currently on the Wayne State board, Tina Abbott and Annetta Miller, have declined to run for re-election. State Board of Education candidates include Michelle Fecteau, executive director of the American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers at Wayne State University.
