LANSING – When you?re watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, you?ll see a familiar face. Gov. Rick Snyder has purchased advertising time for the big game to announce he is running for re-election.

The ad kicks off a whistle-stop tour of the state next week. He has planned an announcement tour for Monday and Tuesday with stops in Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids on Monday and Traverse City, Frankenmuth and Farmington Hills on Tuesday.

An advisory from Snyder’s campaign said the stops would be at five local, family businesses that have “flourished in Michigan under Gov. Snyder” as well as one community college that is “helping workers flourish in the modern economy.”
