Michigan Supervisor Ken Fletcher Re-elected Despite Arrest

Ken Fletcher, a Michigan Democrat and Delta Township supervisor, was re-elected in a landslide despite facing felony charges for allegedly sexting a minor. Fletcher, 58, resigned from his position in September after being arrested in a sting operation where he communicated with an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old on the dating app Grindr. He received nearly 89% of the vote, running uncontested against two write-in candidates, as state law required him to remain on the ballot. Fletcher's next court appearance is scheduled for November 12, and he is currently deliberating whether to assume the supervisor role again. Acting supervisor Mary Clark stated that Fletcher has several options regarding his position. His attorney emphasized the importance of determining whether Fletcher is still the right person for the job given the circumstances.
