Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido violated Michigan’s Campaign Finance Act by including a link to his campaign website in a newsletter sent to county employees, according to the state’s Department of State. This breach sparked concern among residents, as public resources were misused for political purposes. Local attorney Mark Brewer, who filed the complaint, called it a win for taxpayers, highlighting the importance of keeping public funds separate from political campaigns. Lucido now faces a fine or possible criminal charges if he doesn’t settle and agree to follow the law.
