Fems for Dems protest outside Lucido campaign fundraiser in Shelby Township

Macomb County prosecutor candidate Pete Lucido’s birthday celebration fundraiser Thursday had some unwelcome guests outside protesting his candidacy due to sexual harassment claims against him.

Fems for Dems Macomb County organized a car rally in the parking lot of the fundraiser at the Palazzo Grande banquet hall in Shelby Township on Thursday evening. The cars were plastered with messages such as “Don’t Tell No Lies ..” and “... And Keep Your Hands to Yourself” and “No Misogyny.”

“We feel we need to stop Pete Lucido,” said Kristina Lodovisi, a Fems for Dems board member. “We don’t want him in a position of power where he can abuse and take advantage of people he was elected to protect.”

Lucido, a Republic state senator from Shelby Township, earlier this year was stripped by the Senate of his chairmanship of the Advice and Consent Committee and was ordered to undergo “training” due to the allegations. Three women – a news reporter, a fellow senator and a trade group representative – came forward with allegations of harassing comments by Lucido.
