Patricia "Pan" Godchaux is a moderate Republican who ran for the United States Congress for the 9th federal congressional district in the state of Michigan. She challenged seven-term incumbent Joe Knollenberg in the Republican primary and hoped to get Democratic support,as the Democrats' challenger,Nancy Skinner,didn't have to face a primary contest. She notes that the district is inclined to vote Republican,and that unless citizens of the district want to re-elect a conservative Republican,their best chance to avoid doing so was by placing a moderate on the ballot in November. Ultimately Gochaux failed in her attempt to unseat the seven-term incumbent,garnering 30% of the vote to Knollenberg's 70%,or 20,211 to 46,713 votes. [1]
Godchaux previously served on the Birmingham,Michigan school board and the Michigan House of Representatives. She is a member of Triangle Foundation's Board of Advisors. [2]
