The extremists who want to flip the state House can’t even get their own houses in order
LANSING — In case you missed it, American Journal News exposed the concerning history of financial irresponsibility of Republican candidates running for the Michigan state House. While each of these candidates have a platform claiming to improve Michigan’s economy and the state’s expenses, the reality is that they are all plagued by recurring personal financial problems.
Even in their own lives, these MAGA fanatics can’t be trusted to manage their finances, so why on earth should Michiganders trust them to take care of the state’s finances? It is crystal clear that these campaigns are mired in hypocrisy, not to mention their numerous other extreme positions.
Thankfully, Michigan Dems are out in our communities every day talking to voters, knocking on doors, and showing their constituents how Dems have delivered for them. Unfortunately for these irresponsible extremists, Michiganders see right through them and will once again deliver the state House for Democrats across the state.
