Meet the people running to be Lansing's mayor in the August election

This year, the residents of Lansing will choose their next mayor. On Aug. 5, the city will hold a primary to narrow the field of candidates.

Incumbent Mayor Andy Schor is one of two candidates who currently hold offices in Lansing. Three others are first-time political candidates. The primary is nonpartisan and the top two vote getters move to the general election in November.

We asked first-time candidate David Ellis what he likes about the city. For him, like all of the candidates, Lansing is more than just a place to live and work.

“I've traveled around the U.S. a lot and I found that nothing, nothing feels like Lansing,” Ellis said.
