Door to Door Days

We're having another great week in our efforts to meet voters throughout the 63rd District. Families continue to welcome us, and I've appreciated the chats at doorsteps and kitchen tables and especially the cold water offered on the trail. Families are definitely worried about jobs for themselves, their kids, or their grandchildren. They absolutely want to see some common sense brought to Lansing. I'm glad they continue to believe I have the real world experience needed to do just that.

As we often do, this weekend our entire family went door to door. But this time Nick (14) and Megan (12) wanted to do their own doors and have a competition to see who could get the most yard signs. I thought they were competing against each other, but they ended up also competing against me! Megan won! Although we gave her the tie breaker, I still say she should share her win with me because we tied.

Megan remarked that the day was fun, but some cooler temperatures would make it even more fun. I urged her to not wish the summer away, cooler temperatures will be here soon enough. And, I said, I'm glad to not be wearing snow boots any more while going door to door!

I'm proud of my family, and grateful to have such strong and dedicated support.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
