Burns is also a member of the Troy Jaycees and the Vice President of the Clawson-Troy Optimist Club.

Burns, however, benefited from a large ground campaign and the endorsement of former Troy Mayor Jeanne Stine, a Republican.
In 2008, Burns was unopposed and won the Democratic primary, and defeated Republican opponent Mike Bosnic, president of the Clawson School Board, for reelection on November 4, 2008.
