Subscriber, We are less than six months until the election and things are heating up. Lots of good news in this SITREP. We had our first joint candidate appearance with my possible opponent (I say possible because Curtis Hertel screwed up his petition to get on the ballot by listing the wrong office. The former chairman of the Board of Canvassers filed a complaint against Hertel and the Board will meet later this month to decide if he can remain on the ballot.) The Lansing Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum with nearly 200 people in attendance. It was a good snapshot of our very different views of the role of a Member of Congress and our priorities. On the heels of the forum, I received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business, the Voice of Small Business in America. I’m proud to have their support and look forward to working them and other small business leaders to help grow our economy and create good paying jobs for Michiganders. Our team is working hard and we appreciate all your support. |
