Libertarian David Afton, running for Prosecutor in Wayne County, Michigan, got a boost from Deadline Detroit columnist Allan Lengel.
Lengel cites statements from the Informant America blog, which advocates for the release of Rick Wershe. Sentenced for life, Wershe was convicted of dealing drugs as a teenager:

“As far as [Worthy is] concerned, Rick Wershe is buried alive, and she is doing all she can to keep it that way. He caused problems for her political and personal allies, and this is her way of maintaining the vendetta that has continued for nearly 30 years.”
“If you think it’s time for Kym Worthy to go earn a living doing something else, David Afton is the option.”
