With yesterday’s primary now behind us, we can focus our sights and our efforts on the November election. Yesterday’s results show that local voters are hungry for change. The fact is however, that at a time when voters are calling out for common sense leadership on the challenges facing Michigan and an end to the petty partisanship of Lansing, the likely Republican nominee would actually add more partisanship to the process – it says so right there on his signs.

We can do better. By focusing on Jobs, Schools and the Great Outdoors, I have a vision for Michigan that goes beyond a simple partisan appeal and addresses the priorities that we share: good jobs and a growing economy, a world class education for a globally competitive workforce, and protecting the natural resources so central to our quality of life.

Our challenges are too important to resort to simple ideology. We need a representative who can bring people together from across the political spectrum to get Michigan moving again. That’s the positive message I will be bringing to the doorsteps each and every day between now and November 4th. On to November!
