Why Are You Qualified for The Algoma Township Supervisor Position? "I believe the voters are just ready for a normal guy with a normal life who they want to have as a regular person running for Supervisor of their Township and as their Public Servant." As a former City of Wyoming council member and State Representative for not only the City of Wyoming but also for Byron Township for over 11 years;
details will go into more depth on my About page, for now I want to provide you with an overview as to the reason I feel qualified as well as providing you with how I feel about running. I am excited to announce my run for the open Algoma Township, Kent County MI Supervisor position. I have thought long and hard about the pros and cons about running and the benefits to the people I would represent in Algoma Township, Kent County MI. My campaign will give the residents/voters of Algoma Township, Kent County MI an alternative choice to the typical campaign and elected politician. Through my trials, tribulations and successes I have a deep understanding of the difficulties of our working families. As a single-father of two beautiful toddlers, Elliot and Meadow, I understand the challenges first hand of hard working parents trying to provide for all the daily needs of their children. Providing good health care, healthy food, a clean and safe home, a great education, a faith in God, and a strong work ethic, are just a few of the many things we strive to provide our kids. I also understand the needs of our struggling older adults and seniors. "Here I am, a single dad and a small business owner. I realize we really need to be working for all the people of Algoma Township and voting and dealing with the problems and finding solutions. All to often, our elected officials get wrapped up in going to every event which is part of the rat race of politics." As the Pro Life Republican Conservative choice on the ballot, I will be putting my faith in God and my children first through-out this campaign and if elected, through-out my term in office. This means I will be forgoing many of the political events and fundraisers, so that I can be home with my family (as our founding fathers meant it to be as a citizen elected official). Yes, that means I will miss some of your events, but I will focus on what matters - provide the best Township we can have to live and work within. I am running as a citizen leader/candidate. Our residents are ready for our elected leaders to tell the truth, regardless if it is detrimental to the office holder. Just like so many of us, our friends and family, I have been through some very painful years. Are these things painful and difficult to speak of? Yes, absolutely, but I could have only gotten through them with the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Will I be perfect as your Township Supervisor? No, in fact I am kind of a tease/troublemaker smiling. But I will strive to continue being upfront with you, study the issues in great detail, be responsive and accessible to my residents and business owners and most importantly be the kind, caring, compassionate person that so many of you have come to know.
