I have met elected leaders on both sides here in Michigan and most were helpful, to a point. The issues presented to them by their constituents rarely are as simple as we see them. Whatever stand they may choose to take can be twisted by the other side to be seen in the worst possible light. It takes great courage to step out from the crowd and we see that with the backlash faced by Rep. Peter Meijer in MI. Voting against his party is being seen as the reason for his primary loss to a Trump crony that moved to MI to run against him. With lots of money spent on all elections, how much do our votes and contributions really count?

Sorry for the loss.
¨To work for the people, regardless of any political affiliation..."; that sould be, always, the idea any representative must follow....
