Blue skies, beautiful fall weather, and some truly wonderful conversations this weekend in Schoolcraft and Vicksburg!
Our team knocked on hundreds of doors this week, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the folks who took a few minutes to talk with us. Whether we agreed on everything or not, the conversations were genuine, thoughtful, and a great reminder of why I decided to run for office.
One thing I keep hearing is that people are tired of the political extremes. They aren't looking for someone to represent the loudest voices in a political party. They're looking for someone who will represent THEM. Someone who listens, understands their concerns, and is willing to work with others to find common-sense solutions.
That's why I'm especially honored to have received the endorsement of the Michigan Common Sense Party, an organization founded by former Republican leaders that endorses Democrats and Republicans who believe in integrity, constitutional democracy, and putting good governance ahead of party politics.
"It is a recognition that elections are about choosing people to govern, and that character, judgment, respect for democratic institutions, adherence to the rule of law, and a willingness to seek workable solutions matter." - Jeff Timmer (Chair, Michigan Common Sense Party)
After more than 20 years serving our country in uniform, I learned that you don't have to agree on everything to work together, solve problems, and accomplish something meaningful. You just have to respect one another and remember who you're there to serve.
To everyone who opened their doors, shared a story, offered encouragement, or simply gave us a friendly wave, thank you! And a huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who keep showing up and putting in the miles. You make this campaign special.
Service. Family. Community.
Let's bring integrity, honor, and a little Common Sense back to Lansing!
