Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: I am writing to recommend Kelli van Ginhoven for your consideration for Delta County Board of Commissioners. I'm recommending her for three reasons. First, she is a forward-thinking person. In my specific town, Escanaba, we are seeing momentum and positive change like I can't remember. Kellie is a person who is positive and proactive, someone who loves to learn about issues and their impacts on real people, and she will be a very good person to have giving her thought and energy to the board. Second is her willingness to listen to all sides. She's running as an ...

Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: This letter is to endorse a worthy incumbent candidate of five years for District 3, Theresa Nelson, for the board of commissioners. Due to redistricting, her district has now expanded and caused her to run against an already sitting commissioner. District 3 is now awkwardly expanded and District 5 has been reduced, thus causing a campaign of incumbency for the newly formed District 3. Theresa Nelson is a woman of integrity, grit and independence. She speaks her mind with respect, willingness to listen and focuses on the best interest of her District as well as the people of ...

Debt is now no longer in the venue of commerce but has entered the realm of politics. There are those who, for some inconceivable reason, believe they should not be obligated to comply with a legally engaged contract and should have others pick up the tab with no consequence to the borrower’s credit rating wish to burden you with the debt. When education ...

Warming and cooling

Our current administration, and a ton of self-righteous actors and actresses are the faces of climate change. These are the people who take private planes everywhere. I heard that two of the Kardashians took two private planes to an event that took 16 minutes. And California is going to ban gas-powered cars? The state that produced a lot of our fruits and vegetables will not be able, because to bring the crops in, you need big, gas-powered, diesel-powered trucks and equipment. And those in charge in California think they actually have the ability to change the climate? I remember, in ...

Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a person locally, that would listen to us and represent us? A person with experience, knowledge that is honest, has family values and is always on the sunny side? Someone that will research what the public wants and find the best way to get things done? Impossible? It is possible. Your answer is here. Kelli Van Ginhoven (known and loved by the community as Cupcake Kelli) is running as an Independent candidate for Delta County Board of Commissioners, District 4, Precincts 1 and 3. The greater city of Escanaba. She was an honored Elks ...
