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 National Federation of Independent Business, the Police Officers Association of Michigan (POAM), and the County Road Association of Michigan.

Charlie Owens, State Director of the Michigan chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business announced the support of the small business group because of Bolger’s understanding regarding providing jobs in Michigan.

“After a careful review of the candidates we have found that Jase Bolger has a keen understanding of the problems facing employers and their employees,” Owens said. “We wish Jase success in the upcoming election and we look forward to working with him in the Michigan legislature.”

The Police Officers Association of Michigan represents over 12,000 law enforcement employees throughout the State of Michigan and is the largest such organization in the state. The organization offers its endorsement based upon careful review of candidates who support improving safety, working conditions, and economic security of their public safety members. POAM joins the Fraternal Order of Police and the Michigan Association of Police Organizations in solid law enforcement support of Bolger for State Representative.

The County Road Association of Michigan, Rural and Urban Streets and Highways (CRAM-RUSH) offered their endorsement and support of James Bolger noting his commitment and dedication to improve Michigan’s local transportation systems.

Bolger commented, “I am honored to have the support of these organizations that support small family owned businesses, police officers protecting our families, and the vital roads and infrastructure in our great state.”

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.
