Former Speaker Craig DeRoche and Saul Anuzis, who was until recently chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, have endorsed Cheboygan County Drain Commissioner Dennis Lennox for the open 105th District seat in the House of Representatives.

"It is an honor to have the support of two prominent Republican leaders," said Lennox, R-Topinabee. "They realize that our great state needs new leaders willing to address our twenty-first century challenges with twenty-first century solutions."

The 105th District spans Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan and Otsego counties.

The seat is currently held by term-limited House Republican Leader Kevin Elsenheimer.
