Most of you know I’m not one for negativity in campaigns. But when my opponent makes blatantly false claims, I owe it to you all to set the record straight.
For the past 27 years, I've been a proud supporter of our local community and our local football teams. Recently, my campaign team sponsored one of these teams, which led to a halftime announcement of my name. To my surprise, my opponent took offense and went so far as to accuse me of “paying for an endorsement” and violating Michigan’s campaign finance laws.
Let me be clear: supporting our student athletes isn’t a crime. But throwing out false accusations? That’s another story. Maybe my opponent should dust off his old torts casebook and revisit the “slander per se” section.
I stand by my commitment to this community, just as I always have. Thank you all for your continued support!
