Here's another good-read that will help you get a better perspective of who I am. Congressional candidate in rural Michigan galvanizing both liberals and conservatives Dr. Bob Lorinser, candidate for US Congress in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, is running under the Democratic ticket and still earning support from across the political spectrum. Why? He believes in unifying policy that transcends party politics.
"Who is Dr. Bob?" Lorinser, challenging embattled incumbent Republican Jack Bergman in Michigan's 1st Congressional District, is running an issue-driven campaign, stimulating interest from a distinct rural constituency.
GWINN, Mich. — In today's divisive political climate, where outlandish quips from extremists dominate airwaves, it's rare to find a candidate making waves by their willingness to engage with 'the other side.' Dr. Bob Lorinser (D, MI1) is more than willing; he regularly seeks opportunities to find common ground. Many consider Lorinser one of the most respected physicians in Michigan. He received the distinction of 'Michigan Family Medicine Educator of the Year' in 2003. Lorinser's résumé is racked with leadership credentials, including five tours overseas as a State Department diplomat. But, the locals endearingly just call their health department medical director 'Doc' or 'Dr. Bob.' "I don't give a damn what ticket Doc's running under," said small business owner Brian Harsch of Jean Kay's Pasties. "I usually vote conservative, but the last few years have been leaning independent. Doc over Bergman? No question, I'm voting for Dr. Bob because I trust him."
Brian Harsch, Owner - Jean Kay's Pasties Former Representative Bart Stupak, a Democrat, served the district for 18 years until 2011. Since then, Lorinser says, 'Yoopers' and Northern Michiganders haven't changed much. "There are voters in my district who believe mainstream, establishment politicians are no longer representative of their values," said Dr. Lorinser. "Which means it's my party's duty to reignite our understanding of rural America." Dr. Bob is earning voters' trust. He says he rarely receives criticism about his positions on issues. Currently, constituents' primary concerns are inflation, gas and food prices, and the rising cost of rent. "Many believe the Democratic Party is responsible," says Dr. Bob. "But, both parties have their faults, and hardworking rural families often face the brunt of these economic burdens. My goal is to listen and put forward real solutions that will solve these problems, not convince voters the problems don't exist." Alternatively, Lorinser's opponent, incumbent Rep. Jack Bergman (R, MI1), is solely focused on blaming the party in power. Lorinser says it's disingenuous and solutionless. "My opponent wants to play the blame game, but he offers no meaningful solutions," Lorinser claims. "It's unacceptable. Combating inflation and advocating for economic growth requires leadership and compromise from both sides. The American people deserve better than for us to make this a partisan problem." Skeptics often ask Dr. Bob how frequently he'll vote in lockstep with his party or how he'll practice independence when elected. Will he be another stooge to Speaker Pelosi, President Biden, Gov. Whitmer, or Sen. Schumer? . "I never thought my vote was for or against a party. My vote will be my best assessment for America, my district, and its people," says Lorinser. Dr. Bob may be a rookie candidate, but he's not a novice to politics, leadership, or solving problems. "Being a political outsider is actually a huge advantage," says Lorinser. "It's refreshing," said Harsch.
