Hello Friends!
It’s that time of the year again…you guessed it – PARADE TIME!!
Last year we had a blast taking part in the Manistee Forest Festival’s 4th of July parade and Ludington’s 4th of July parade as a candidate, but this year Dan will be participating as OUR elected State Representative!
We are looking for interested volunteers to come out, and march alongside Representative Scripps and his truck as he runs around and shakes hands with the residents of the 101st. We will be carrying signs and banners that read Dan Scripps OUR State Rep! and proudly donning red, white and blue, as we hand out candy.
Here are the details:
- Manistee Parade: Line up is at 9 am, and the parade starts at 10 am. We are assigned #14 in the line-up and will be meeting at River st. and Division st.
- Ludington Parade: Line up is at noon, and the parade starts at 1 pm. We will be meeting at our assigned parade line-up location “I-7″ which is on Loomis St between Staffon and Madison Streets. There will be street directors on hand in case you are unable to find us.
If you are interested in volunteering alongside us, please contact our office in Lansing at (517) 373-0825 and speak with our parade coordinator, Emily to sign up…. or just show up!
Dear Friends,
Hello from Lansing! For the past five months I have been working hard to push a progressive legislative agenda that builds on Michigan’s strengths, as well as providing solid customer service to the residents of the 101st District. It is an exciting time to be in the legislature and I am honored to represent the residents of beautiful Northwest Michigan – but we still have work to do!
Please join me for a special fundraising event:
Sunday, May 31st from 6 to 8PM
at the Leelanau Cellars Tasting Room on the bay in Omena
Here is a chance to come out, show your support, and help me keep the momentum going! Any questions? Contact Tracy at tracy@danscripps.com.
I hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Dan Scripps

On Monday, I was sworn-in as our next State Representative by Supreme Court Justice and resident of the 101st District, Elizabeth Weaver of Glen Arbor. My wife Jamie held the Bible, as Justice Weaver administered the oath in front of a standing-room only crowd of friends, supporters, and elected officials.
You can see other photos from my inauguration at our Flickr page here.
As the ceremony took place, I placed my hand on the Bible, opened to:
1 Peter 4:10
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
This is a verse that encompasses much of what I believe about democracy, that all of us have certain talents and that we should use our talents to serve one another. I built on this theme in my formal comments during the inauguration, knowing that we can only overcome the challenges facing Michigan by working together and by each of us contributing our unique strengths and energy to building a better Michigan.
I am extremely honored that the citizens of Northwest Michigan have put their trust in me, and I look forward to working hard across party lines to get our state back on track. We have real challenges in Michigan, but I’m confident that working together we can turn challenges into opportunities.
I plan to hit the ground running when session begins in January. As State Representative, I will do everything I can to help make our state a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Six months ago I kicked off my campaign with a tour of the district that focused on “Jobs, Schools, and the Great Outdoors” where I visited local high schools and early childhood centers, downtown business districts and entrepreneurs, and met with local leaders in the farming and conservation communities. I highlighted the issues that matter most to the people of the 101st District, and continued to focus on them throughout my campaign. Those of you that have followed along know how hard we all worked. We ran a positive issues-based campaign until the end, and our efforts and positive message paid off!
After six months of hard work, the voters have spoken, and I am honored that you have chosen me as your next State Representative. It’s been a wonderful six months, and I plan to hit the ground running when I get to Lansing next January. I plan to be a district-based Representative and promise to always serve the people of the 101st District to the best of my ability.
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone that has worked on my behalf – I could not have done it without you!
