Why Brian is Running to Represent the 91st District?
Brian is running to be the State Representative for Michigan's 91st District because he recognizes that real change needs to be implemented in Lansing so that his neighbors in the district are better protected against politicians who do the bidding of billionaires while forgetting the people they have been elected to represent.
Brian grew up in the 91st District and wants to give back to the community that supported him. He graduated from Whitehall Public schools so he knows the quality of a public education when elected officials support students, teachers and the school board.
Brian and his family have a history of owning and supporting small businesses in the 91st District and appreciate the hard work and risk involved. Brian is committed to fighting for small business owners, as he understands the importance of having someone in your corner when trying to make ends meet.
Brian's kids were born and raised in the 91st District, attend public schools, and are active members in the community. Like many parents across Michigan, Brian wants to make the world a better place for his kids and believes that he can accomplish this goal by fighting for families in Lansing.
