Michigan House Candidate’s 2013 Protest Arrest Resurfaces in Closely Watched Congressional Race
- William Lawrence, a candidate for Michigan's 7th congressional district, was arrested in 2013 during a protest against the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline for chaining himself to machinery and was charged with trespassing, resisting, and obstructing police.
- His conviction from the protest was expunged under Michigan state law, and Lawrence stated that while he took a stand, repeating such actions is not advisable.
- Lawrence has distanced himself from the Democratic Socialists of America and no longer supports defunding the police, aligning with advocates for increased funding for community programs and police collaboration.
- The National Republican Congressional Committee criticized Lawrence as a radical far-left liberal prioritizing an extreme climate agenda over the interests of Michiganders.
