After working for John Bippus as his office manager for the last 19-plus years, I am excited that John has decided to run to be our next State Representative for the 59th District.

John has always told me that he wanted to run for state office and I’m glad that he has finally put himself into the political mainstream.

His years of dedication to our community in being elected as a city commissioner, then as a county commissioner, to leadership roles in Michigan Guardianship Association as well as his involvement in the Michigan and National Association of Realtors and his current involvement with the St. Joseph County Road Commission and the Glenn Oaks Board of Trustees, all have helped to make him a well-rounded candidate with knowledge to share.

When elected, John will work hard to reduce current tax burdens, defend hometown values, make public education a budget and policy priority, help to promote Michigan agriculture, move government towards improving and rebuilding our roads and highways, and promote public safety.

We need to elect John Bippus as our new State Representative from the 59th District.

I encourage you to get out and vote on Tuesday, Aug.  5. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

When you get to the State Representative 59th District section of the ballot, be sure to fill in the circle next to the name of  John Bippus.

I know that I will.
