On Friday we learned that our only primary opponent, former State Representative Jerry 
VanderRoest, had chosen to withdraw from the race. We first heard this news from a phone call while going Door to Door in Newton Township on Friday at about 4:30pm.
That means we will remain as the only campaign for the Republican nomination on August 5th. So, we're through the Primary and will advance to the November General election.
Of course, everyone in our campaign is very happy, and my family is very excited.
Nick was gone to his Order of the Arrow Ordeal for the Boy Scouts this weekend. So, on Saturday, Molly, Megan and I joined our Campaign Manager Steve for Door to Door in Ross Township. We couldn't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit more voters in the district.
We had planned for and believed we were going to run in a hotly contested primary. This week, however, produced a clearing of the field.
My relief is that the money we've raised and the hours we've
spent have paid off already. More importantly, however, this money and effort combined with our continued fundraising and Door to Door can be focused on winning the General Election instead of beating a fellow Republican.
We're now looking forward to continuing our effort to meet with and listen to voters. We expect a strong General Election campaign, and believe we have the Right Experience and the Right Priorities to serve the voters well.

I had the chance last night to talk about you, your family, and your campaign with some close to your campaign for representative. I trust that you know what is right for our area and for public safety. We have to do something about jennifer granholm and her disregard for people like me and my family. I like seeing a man with a strong family and values who knows whats right for our future. thanks and congratulations. I know you wont forget about us as your career moves on.
