Good Evening,

We released a new ad yesterday called “Job Creator.” It highlights my qualifications for turning around Michigan’s economy and why I believe Michigan needs a non-career politician with a history of job creation to bring common sense reforms to Lansing.

I have been sharing this message with Michiganders all across the state at our economic town halls. Voters have played a key role in shaping our plan through their feedback and the events have resulted in meaningful discussions about our state’s future. Take a look at the bottom of this email to read just a sample of the media coverage our town halls have received.

We have already conducted 35 economic town halls and are well on our way to 50. On Tuesday, July 13th my opponents will be trading sound bites in another debate while I will be sharing my plan and having a substantive conversation directly with voters in Grand Rapids. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll join us at 6:00pm at Bridgewater Place, which is located at 333 Bridge St. in Grand Rapids. We’re providing a complimentary BBQ dinner for citizens who want to hear about our plan to reinvent Michigan.

We are 26 days away from the primary and our campaign is in a very strong position. I’m confident that we’re on a path to victory, but we need your help. A contribution of $10, $25, or whatever you can spare during these tough times plays a key role in our campaign and Michigan’s future. We could also use your help to spread the word and convince others to vote. To learn how to help, visit www.rickformichigan.com. Working together, I am confident we will get the job done.
