"We need to stress the importance of keeping jobs in our area and provide sufficient funding to our educational institutes.

Liptow stresses the importance of funding education as it becomes more vital to complete formal education in a transitional economy. Furthermore, Liptow emphasizes the need to bring innovative businesses to the Mid-Michigan area that can offer high paying jobs in order to retain our residences. In addition, Liptow hopes to see the 97th district maintain a safe, hazard-free, green environment as a basis and foundation to agriculture and tourism of the area.

Liptow invites all to join him November 21st at the Surrey House in Harrison from 7-10pm.
