FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE McGrain, who has been on the Board of Commissioners since 2008, submitted the required paperwork to appear on the August primary ballot. The district includes much of Lansing's east and southeast sides, the eastern portions of Lansing Township, and the southwestern side of East Lansing. “I'm so thankful for the encouragement I've received from my friends, neighbors, and elected colleagues to seek another term, and I'm looking forward to pursuing our shared vision for Ingham County," McGrain, 39, said. "Over the past eight years, we successfully managed the County through some challenging times and put our region in a strong position to grow as the economy continues to rebound." "It has been an honor to serve my constituents, and I respectfully ask for their support as I seek another term as a county commissioner."
