Supporting Cambensy

To the Journal editor:

Sara Cambensy is the person we want to carry our Upper Peninsula values to Lansing. Sara believes in a sound fiscal plan where our communities get the revenue sharing from the state that they need in order to balance budgets, provide infrastructure improvements and continue to employ quality employees.

Sara also believes in a strong public education system and realizes that school districts aren’t receiving the funding they need to properly educate our young people.

Sara has stood with labor for years which is why she quickly earned the support of the MNA, MEA, USW, UAW, Plumbers and Pipefitters, Building Trades as well as Bart Stupak, Scott Dianda, Mike Prusi, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and more. Sara believes in your right to collectively bargain for fair wages, quality health care, safe staffing as well as your right to overtime pay.

Sara believes that right to work is a detriment to not only unions but all working people in the state of Michigan. In addition to the above stated unions, Sara has also earned the endorsement of the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police, proving she is also going to support our police, corrections officers and all members of the law enforcement community.

I support Sara because she’s a fiscally responsible progressive candidate who has the values of the 109th District in mind, not the mindset of Lansing and Washington like her opponent, who will put party before people.

He has demonstrated that in allowing the Michigan Republican Party to continuously attack and defame Sara Cambensy. Her opponent has proven he is running a partisan smear campaign against Sara, not a race that we Yoopers can be proud of. Her opponent has also refrained from providing any actual discussion on the issues, unlike Sara who has clearly stated her positions.

Sara has the support working class citizens of the 109th district. As a proud CWA member for 32 years, I can promise you that she has our best interests in mind.

Stand up and exercise your right. Vote for Sara Cambensy on Nov. 7. A true Yooper who shares our values.
