Bill Bonds' Daughter Kristine is Running for Congress As A Republican



Anchor Bill Bonds, one of the most memorable TV figures in the Detroit TV market over the decades, passed away in December 2014 at age 82. Now, his daughter Kristine Bond of West Bloomfield is using her dad's popular name in hopes of boosting her chances of winning an election.
Bond this week announced her candidacy for Congress as Republican for the 14th Congressional district for 2018, and has launched a website that lauds the recent tax reform legislation signed into law by President Donald Trump. Democrat Brenda Lawrence, the former Southfield mayor, currently holds the seat.
The writing across the top half of the campaign website says: "LIke father, like daughter," and includes separate photos of Kristina and dad, side-by-side.
The website also includes the statements:

Michigan voters were just given A LOT of money back via our historic tax cut. Plus- we are now off the hook for being forced to buy Obamacare. YAY!!!

Why then do we have a Rep in Congress who VOTED AGAINST BOTH? I will keep our prosperity agenda rolling with a Republican rubber stamp!
Why not BONDS - Why not NOW?

Bonds was beloved by many viewers. But his daughter's stance on the issues may not win all those folks over.
Her husband, Greg Swan, CEO of Detroit Digital Advertising in downtown Detroit, posted this on Facebook on Thursday:

It’s happening. Kristine Bonds is officially running for Congress. We announced 10 minutes ago and booked a TV interview for next week 5 minutes ago. Can she win? Is her fresh perspective newness, her famous dad’s name and her personal distain for higher taxes enough?

Bonds did not immediately respond to an email from Deadline Detroit seeking comment.
The 14th Congressional District stretches from eastern Detroit to Farmington Hills, then north to Pontiac.
