As a manager of a small family restaurant, I see everyday, first-hand, how decisions made at the State level affect local businesses and workers. As a Midland County Commissioner and Township official, I have had the fortune of talking to citizens and hearing their thoughts and ideas. I look forward to continuing a dialogue with the residents of Midland and Saginaw counties while working towards re-vitalizing not only the 98th district, but Michigan as a whole.

I know we need to improve the economy of mid-Michigan and I know mid-Michigan residents need someone who will put their concerns first. As this campaign rolls on, I look forward to working and meeting with you, and I ask for your vote on November 4th, 2008.
