‘LaGrand knows how to fix mess’

Posted on October 20, 2010

Grand Rapids Press, Letter to the Editor
Tuesday, October 19th

As college graduation looms, the current economic crisis has me disheartened, frustrated and worried for my future. As classmates and friends leave the state and quickly find jobs, I worry I will be forced to become part of the brain drain. My generation has a rough journey ahead of us if our state continues on its current path.
Politicians claim to have the answers, especially during campaign season. So far, only one candidate has given me hope that he will fix the mess that my generation is left with. David LaGrand has actually created jobs and has the real world experience necessary to turn our state around.
A few years ago, I never ventured to the Wealth Street corridor, now I go there nearly every day. David and his partners saw potential in that neighborhood and opened my favorite local hangout, the Wealthy Street Bakery.
David is dedicated to fixing the mess Lansing has left my generation. Please, so I don’t have to move out of Michigan, vote for David LaGrand on Nov. 2.
