Political career

In 2008, Slezak won election to the Michigan state House of Representatives from the 50th District, defeating incumbent Ted Hammon in the Democratic primary.[3]

In 2010, Slezak ran in the 26th State Senate District to replace the term-limited Deborah Cherry.[1] He lost the primary to Paula Zelenko, who in turn lost the general election to Republican David B. Robertson.

Switching parties, Slezak in 2012 ran as a Republican for the 5th Congressional District seat being vacated after 36 years by Dale Kildee; he was defeated in the general election by Kildee's nephew Dan.[4]
