    Gwendolyn MINGO, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Daniel BAXTER, Director of Elections of the City of Detroit, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 12-2368.
    United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
    April 19, 2013.
    BEFORE: COLE and COOK, Circuit Judges; KATZ, District Judge.
    
    
      
       The Honorable David A. Katz, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM.

Gwendolyn Mingo, a Michigan citizen, appeals through counsel a district court order dismissing her civil rights complaint, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, for failure to state a claim.

Mingo ran for election for the citizens district council in the district of her residence. She voted early by absentee ballot. She then filed a change of address form, indicating that she lived in a different district, and ran as a write-in candidate for the citizens district council of that district. She voted in that election on the date of the election. The defendant, the director of elections of the city of Detroit, disqualified Mingo as a candidate in the first district on the ground that she was no longer a resident. She would otherwise have won a seat on the council based on the vote count. Mingo did not win a seat in the second district.

Mingo filed a complaint against defendant, claiming that he deprived her of her right to be elected in the first district without due process. The district court dismissed the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) for failure to state a claim.

Upon review, we conclude that this complaint was properly dismissed for failure to state a claim, as it did not set forth facts stating a plausible claim for relief. See Bell Atl. Carp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) (A well-pleaded complaint requires “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.”).

Mingo argues on appeal that the dismissal was improper because she was deprived of her right to vote, a fundamental right, citing League of Women Voters of Ohio v. Brunner, 548 F.3d 463, 476 (6th Cir.2008). This was not the claim set forth in her complaint; she raised only a claim of being deprived of the right to hold elective office. We do not address on appeal arguments that were not raised in the district court. Burner v. Pilkington N. Am., Inc., 399 F.3d 745, 749 (6th Cir.2005). The district court correctly concluded that Mingo had no due process claim because she had no property interest in being an elected official. See Kurita v. State Primary Bd. of Tenn. Democratic Party, 472 Fed.Appx. 398, 398 (6th Cir.2012); Velez v. Levy, 401 F.3d 75, 87 (2d Cir.2005). Accordingly, the district court’s order dismissing this complaint is affirmed.
