Fred Upton has been in the House of Representatives for 30 years. He is the definition of a career politician.
If you look at Fred’s voting record, there is not a lot to show for it. He’s sponsored only six bills that have been signed into law. Six. That’s one every five years. The base salary for a Representative is $174,000 so Fred has earned a minimum of 5.2 million dollars during his tenure, or $870,000 per bill. Not bad work if you can get it.
Paul Clements is a professor of Political Science at Western Michigan, and lives in Kalamazoo. He was raised by his social worker parents overseas. He met his wife Aedin in the Peace Corp. He is a climate change expert. Paul Clements will serve us well in Washington.
He is politically astute, knowledgeable of the world, and has a servant’s heart. Vote Paul Clements for U.S. Congress on Nov. 8.
