PLYMOUTH — State Rep. Marc Corriveau (D-Northville) largely ruled out running against U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter in 2010 during an interview with the Michigan Messenger on Monday.
Corriveau said he hasn’t been approached to run against McCotter (R-Livonia) and hasn’t given the idea much thought. Corriveau said he’s determined to stay in his State House seat.
McCotter, who won re-election with 51 percent of the vote in 2008, is viewed as being potentially vulnerable to a Democratic challenge in 2010.
“I’m motivated to stay in this direction until I’m told that I’m not wanted anymore,” the state representative said. “If that means looking at different seats as they come up, I’ll always look but right now I’m focused on this two-year term,” he said.
In the next six months, Corriveau said he’ll consider whether to run for reelection to his State House seat or perhaps try to unseat State Sen. Bruce Patterson (R-Canton) in the 7th district.
Last week former U.S. Rep. Lynn Rivers (D-Ann Arbor) told Michigan Messenger she won’t run against< McCotter either.
