“I’ve spent the last few months traveling across Jackson and Calhoun counties and the message I am hearing is clear: Lansing is not getting the job done. The politicians in Lansing just don’t seem to care about us here at home. I hope you’ll take a moment to read through my 4 point plan to create jobs NOW.” – Mike Nofs
