Brandon Hall of the West Michigan Politics blog is reporting that Bobby Schostak will announce at this weekend’s Michigan Republican Party gathering that he will seek a third term as party chairman.
Speculation about Schostak’s plan has kept GOP activists buzzing for several weeks.
Earlier, Hall created a list of eight possible contenders for the party, with possibly seven likely to back off if Schostak decided to stay on. Among those on the list were term-limited state Rep. Pete Lund of Shelby Township.
“Multiple sources tell West Michigan Politics that Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak will announce plans to seek a third term this weekend, possibly as early as (tonight),” Hall wrote. “Schostak will be in Grand Rapids for a reception at Amway Grand Plaza Friday night, and state party business Saturday morning.”
