A prospective future state House Speaker says he thinks Democrats will lose some seats to Republicans in the upcoming elections.
AUDIO:
Democratic state Representative Woodrow Stanley says enthusiasm for Democratic candidate for governor Virg Bernero could affect turnout for Democratic House candidates.
"I certainly have a very strong interest in seeing Virg Bernero competitive. And I use the term competitive."
But Stanley says he's not sure the word "competitive" could be applied to Bernero's campaign, if polls that favor Snyder by a wide margin are correct. Stanley says House Democrats need to focus on maintaining a majority. And he says if they lose a few seats to Republicans, a smaller Democratic majority might be more manageable then the current, often-divided caucus.
