Tim Burns
Edit ProfileCareer
Burns is a graduate of Bradley University and the University of Detroit Law School. In 2006, Burns was elected to the County Commission, defeating Republican former Troy Mayor Matt Pryor. This was considered an upset victory, as this is traditionally a Republican seat.
Burns, however, benefited from a large ground campaign and the endorsement of former Troy Mayor Jeanne Stine, a Republican.
In the County Commission, Burns" principal issues include preventing urban sprawl, limiting government bureaucracy, and providing county services without raising taxes. Burns" enthusiasm has attracted many young high school and college students who volunteered in his re-election bid.
In 2010 Burns lost his seat on the Oakland County Commission to Republican Mike Bosnic.
