Little Lien on the Prairie

The Detroit Free Press is reporting:

Actress Melissa Gilbert, the “Little House on the Prairie” star who this week announced her candidacy for a Michigan congressional seat next year, expects to pay off more than $470,000 in federal and state tax liens by 2024, her campaign told the Free Press on Tuesday.

Gilbert is challenging Republican freshman Rep. Mike Bishop in Michigan’s eighth district. This is Glibert’s first run for office, though she previously served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, a post once held by Ronald Reagan.
