Election results: State Rep Coleman to win Westland mayoral seat among other close races
State Rep. Lori Stone (D) running for Warren mayor and Kevin Coleman (D) running for Westland mayor.
FOX 2 (WJBK) - In Westland, State Rep. Kevin Coleman appears to have defeated incumbent Michael Londeau. The term is a partial one, ending in three years after former longtime Mayor Bill Wild resigned for a job in the private sector. Coleman had 59 percent of the vote to Londeau's 40 percent with 100 percent of the vote in.
In Warren, State Rep. Lori Stone was running against George Dimas to replace longtime outgoing Mayor Jim Fouts. Fouts was denied a chance to run for a fifth term in office after a decision from the Michigan high court denied his appeal of a lower court's ruling.
Stone defeated Dimas 53 percent to 47 percent.
Since Coleman and Stone will no longer hold spots in the House, their seats are up in the air.
Aside from the election impacting control of the House, there were plenty of others taking place across Metro Detroit as well on Tuesday.
