It is a privilege to support David LaGrand for the office of state senator. David is thoughtful, compassionate and courageous leader. Not only is he a candidate with a business background, he has worked his whole life towards eradicating many of the social issues that plague our community.
I know David’s work within the community firsthand. He has been a strong advocate for the Restorative Justice Initiative to try and cure many of the issues facing the criminal defense system. As a businessman, he opened two small businesses – the Wealthy Street Bakery and Four Friends Coffeehouse – in troubled parts of the community that directly led to those neighborhood’s growth.
David is devoted to seeing our community thrive. As a city commissioner, he led the way in many of the city’s most difficult decisions: balancing the budget and appointing new city leaders. He has the skills, experience and compassion necessary to be a strong leader for our region in Lansing. I urge others to vote for David LaGrand on Nov. 2.
