186 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

LIVINGSTON COUNTY GOP LINCOLN DAY DINNER…another huge success. I joined Congressman Mike Rogers and a big crowd of excited and committed Republicans. Congressman Rogers lead off the night…a great leader for Michigan and our country.

ELSENHEIMER FOR STATE REP....Kevin Elsenheimer agreed to withdraw from the race for the Court of Appeals at the request of the party to give us a better shot at holding this conservative seat. He agreed to run for re-election and continue his service in the Michigan Legislature and help ensure the House Republicans come back as the Majority Caucus next year.

We certainly understand how difficult of a decision this was for Kevin considering his family priorities and the level of support demonstrated by the over 10,000 signatures he turned in this week. Thanks to Kevin for being an all around team player and helping the party.

U.P. TOUR DOES ESCANABA…The Political and Candidate & Party Assistance teams were on the road again yesterday on the UP "Unity Road Show" for our fourth and final stop in Escanaba . We had a great group of local party people from Menominee, Delta, and Dickenson Counties including Arlene Bright chair for Menominee and one of the 1st district Congressional candidates, Linda Goldthorpe. Thanks to you to all that attended and participated.
