Virgil Bernero
Virgil Paul "Virg" Bernero (born March 31, 1964) is an American politician and was mayor of Lansing, Michigan, elected on November 8, 2005, and re-elected on November 3, 2009. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Prior to serving as mayor, Bernero served as a legislative aide, an Ingham County Commissioner and as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate. He was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Michigan in 2010, losing in the November 2 general election to Republican Rick Snyder.
Virgil Paul Bernero was born March 31, 1964, in Pontiac, Michigan in the Metro Detroit area. He was the youngest of five children (three sons and two daughters) born to Giulio, an Italian immigrant who arrived in the US in 1948, and Virginia, a first generation Italian-American.
Bernero has said that the diagnosis of schizophrenia in one of his brothers and the death of another brother from AIDS in 1990 (on the same day he was elected to the Ingham County Commission) have helped to shape his life and politics.
While a student at Waterford Mott High School, Bernero was elected class president three times. After graduating from there in 1982, he enrolled at Adrian College (and was also class president there three times), graduating in 1986 with a B.A. in political science.
Bernero served as a legislative aide and an Ingham County, Michigan Commissioner.
Bernero ran for and won a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives in 2000, serving one term before being elected to the Michigan Senate in 2002.
Bernero was elected to the Michigan Senate on November 5, 2002, and served there until his election as mayor three years later.
While he was a state senator, Bernero appeared in the documentary Fired! (2006) by Annabelle Gurwitch. The film chronicles the experiences of individuals who have been fired from their jobs. In it, Bernero was interviewed about his efforts to pass Michigan Senate Bill 381 of 2005 ("Employee Privacy Protection Act"), which would make it illegal for Michigan employers to fire workers for engaging in otherwise legal conduct during their off-work hours.
