Now, Go Vote

As Paul says, I have run the race…

Over the past months, we have talked on doorsteps, in backyards, in community meetings, and here on this blog.

Looking back, I can only say how grateful I am for your support and encouragement. These last days have been so hectic, I couldn’t have managed it without my wife Amy’s understanding and support.

But as I said, we’ve finished our race. Now it’s up to you.

We need more than a change of direction in Lansing, we need a change of spirit. We have some big tasks in front of us: improve our schools, rebuild a tax code; repair our roads. They’re going to challenge us, legislators and citizens alike. I have an unabashed hope — a hope I celebrate each Sunday — that principle can be a bridge and not a barrier to working together. It’s been that way in the landscaping business, and it certainly has guided me on the school board.

I have been honored to meet you. Today, I would be honored to receive your vote.

And tonight? Please come out to the Caledonia High School for our campaign celebration. Our campaign would never have had the impact it did without all our volunteers, friends and supporters. Tuesday night will be a time to celebrate our hard work and, we hope, the fruit of our labor. I hope to see you there.
