Sign Shenanigans by Bolger Opponents

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sign Shenanigans
Bolger signs stolen in coordinated effort


State House Candidate James “Jase” Bolger today called for civility and open debate in place of underhanded campaign tactics.

Overnight on Saturday many 4’ x 8’ Bolger for State Representative signs were ripped from their posts and stolen. In an obvious and coordinated effort the signs were taken from several townships across the district and were missing even when other candidates’ signs were left alone. While some signs are occasionally destroyed as pranks, this was obviously a targeted effort by opponents of James Bolger’s campaign.

“Michigan and our communities are facing very serious issues,” Bolger said, “It is unacceptable that Michigan has the country’s highest unemployment. Instead of playing the political games of my opposition, I am interested in working to bring jobs to our communities.”

Bolger continued, “That’s why I was disappointed this morning to see the usual politics of petty games starting in this race for State Representative. Instead of talking about the serious issues facing our communities my opponents are obviously resorting to the childish, sad, and tired shenanigans practiced for too long in politics.”

Bolger concluded, “Every day as I talk to voters I hear their concern, and I hear their frustrations with politics as usual. So, while my opponents seem eager to play cheap games I am going to continue to work to bring common sense solutions to the real problems we face.”

James “Jase” Bolger is a Kalamazoo small business owner and 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.
