NOTE: A previous version of this story indicated Blazejewski has run unsuccessfully for a Howell City Council seat. That was incorrect. She had previously applied for an open seat, but later withdrew her name. We apologize for the error.
A former county commission candidate says recent actions by the Howell City Council have inspired her to seek an open seat in the November election.
In a press release (attached below), Lee Ann Blazejewski described herself as a Howell native, registered nurse and PhD candidate in public health. She said her decision to run for the non-partisan seat on Howell City Council was made after observing âthe councilâs recent vote against reappointing someone who spoke in opposition to a past city council proposal.â

Interviews are planned for five candidates that applied for a vacant Howell City Council seat.
Councilman Michael Mulvahill resigned as he and his wife are moving out of the City. The council earlier approved a motion accepting Mulvahillâs resignation with regrets and extended their sincere appreciation for his years of service to the City. A notice of the vacancy and process to apply was posted. Five candidates applied and many are familiar names. They include Adam Smiddy, the former Livingston County Veterans Services director who recently ran for a state House seat; Lee Ann Blazejewski who ran for the Livingston County Board of Commissioners; Kathryn Tuck, who serves as president of the Howell Carnegie District Library Board of Directors; Nikolas Hertrich who previously ran for a seat on the Howell City Council; and Alexander Clos, who serves as the current chair of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
