Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM)
Kalamazoo Regional Chamber (Kalamazoo Chamber PAC)

Marshall, MI— James “Jase” Bolger’s Campaign for State Representative announced today the endorsements of several prominent Michigan organizations. The three organizations announcing support for Bolger include the Small Business Association of Michigan, the Kalamazoo Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Michigan Association of Police Organizations (MAPO).

The Small Business Association of Michigan is governed by small business owners. The Small Business Association of Michigan understands the challenges entrepreneurs face and endorses candidates after careful review. SBAM is governed by a board of directors and a volunteer base made up entirely of small business owners and entrepreneurs.

The Kalamazoo Regional Chamber of Commerce joins the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce in endorsing Bolger’s candidacy for State Representative.

The Michigan Association of Police Organizations is a coalition of police organizations representing approximately 67% of the certified police officers in Michigan. The primary purpose of the coalition was to become directly involved in the political process by endorsing candidates and contributing financially to the campaigns of those seeking elected public office who support law enforcement issues. MAPO joins the Fraternal Order of Police in strong law enforcement support for James Bolger.

Bolger commented, “I am honored to have the support of these organizations that represent such key issues facing our families today: attracting jobs and providing public safety for our communities.”

James “Jase” Bolger is a Kalamazoo small business owner. Bolger started the business 12 years ago which updates telephone data for large companies across the country; bringing work back to Michigan that would otherwise be done someplace else in the country or even someplace else in the world. Bolger is also a Calhoun County Commissioner. He and his wife, Molly, are raising their two teenage children in Marshall. Bolger is running for State Representative in the 63rd District, looking to succeed term limited Lorence Wenke, R-Galesburg. The 63rd District covers portions of Kalamazoo and Calhoun Counties.
