Cast a vote for Michigan

Grand Rapids Press Letter to the Editor
August 1, 2010
On Aug. 3, vote David LaGrand in the Democratic primary for the 29th District Senate seat. He has been endorsed by public safety associations and has worked with law enforcement as assistant Kent County prosecutor.
As a former city commissioner, David is knowledgeable about our city. When safety cuts were threatened by the ongoing budget crisis, David sought citizen input through town hall meetings. He also worked to build consensus among his peers, knowing that compromise is reached through regular communication and the refusal to accept a stalemate.
David’s willingness to listen is an important quality at a time when our senators on both sides of the aisle have shown an inability to talk, listen and get things done. David is a small-business owner and has a comprehensive economic plan that includes a pro-business tax code. He understands how important it is to protect and encourage the growth of businesses.
As a father, David has his eye on Michigan’s future. He knows it is essential to initiate job growth so that his children and ours will have the choice to stay in Michigan to raise their families. Vote LaGrand on Aug. 3.
