Those are words of The Grand Rapids Press’ endorsement.
And modestly, I think they sum up what we’ve been trying to do for this campaign.
Everyone knows that Lansing is broken. The question ahead is what we will do about it. And I should emphasize that word “we.” It’s going to take both sides to solve our problems. As I’ve said before, we’re going to have to listen to one another. Leadership is helping others see our principles in action. That’s the style of leadership I brought to my business for 24 years, and to the Caledonia school board. It’s principle backed by real-world knowledge and a commitment to results.
And we have a term for that informed, principled, practical leadership: “West Michigan Values.”
And now its a Grand Rapids Press value, too.
