Never endorsed Jack Hoogendyk

I recently attended an event to listen to Congressional candidate Jack Hoogendyk and signed in.
A few days later, my name was listed on his website as an endorser. I never endorsed him.
Mr. Hoogendyk was an engaging personality and talked a good game, but I did not endorse him.
After researching his record, I learned that Jack Hoogendyk voted to give our money, in the form of special tax breaks, to Hollywood movie production studios, which is a terrible economic policy.
I also discovered that Jack Hoogendyk voted for Democrat Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s $1 billion stimulus, which involved a government board handing out our tax dollars to individual businesses and special interest projects.
Handouts for Hollywood and Granholm’s $1 billion stimulus. Sorry, Mr. Hoogendyk, I cannot endorse that record.
