LIVONIA, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Political Leadership Program at Michigan State University is hearing from Republican ex-Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Democratic ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at its annual fundraising dinner.
The program was underway Thursday evening at Laurel Manor in the Detroit suburb of Livonia.
A number of political figures were to attend, including Republican U.S. Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land. The ex-secretary of state and Democratic U.S. Rep. Gary Peters are seeking to replace Carl Levin, who isn’t seeking re-election in November.
Fellows in the Michigan Political Leadership Program follow a 10 month curriculum. The main elements covered are personal leadership development, public policy process and analysis, effective governance, and practical politics.
The program says it has graduated 500 fellows since 1992.
