State Representative Jon Hoadley is running for election to become the next U.S. Congressman from Michigan’s 6th district (Berrien, Cass, Van Buren, Allegan, St. Joseph, and Kalamazoo counties).

Jon is an extraordinary individual. He has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving the quality of health care, education, and the environment; creating an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest individuals; and promoting social justice for all.

On his website jonhoadley.com, Jon makes clear what his priorities are:

• Families should not be worried about their healthcare

• Working people should not be left behind while CEOs keep earning more and more

• Everyone has a right to clean water

• Politics should not be rigged by billionaires and special interests

• Your zip code, skin color and gender shouldn’t dictate your opportunities at birth

• Every vote should count and every citizen should get to vote

• Every student deserves a great education without massive amounts of student debt

• Everyone should have the freedom to be who they are, love who they are, and pray (or not) how they want

• Big corporations should not be getting massive tax breaks while workers’ benefits get cut

• Politicians should not be sitting on the sidelines watching climate change happen

Jon Hoadley is traveling throughout the 6th district to listen to local residents and develop a deep understanding of their concerns. He is bringing fresh ideas and fresh energy to our area. He is a force for good, and we are fortunate that he is running for Congress.

It’s time for the people of southwest Michigan to elect a Congressman who represents our interests, not the interests of wealthy campaign donors.

Jon Hoadley has been an excellent State Representative, and he will be an excellent U.S. Congressman.
