East Lansing, MI -- Rick Snyder stood out as the only candidate offering substantive solutions to address Michigan’s economic challenges, in stark contrast to the other career politicians on stage. Rick laid out a clear vision to Reinvent Michigan.

"From the start, Rick defined the clear contrast in this race. Voters have a choice between a job creator who has delivered results, has a vision and offers substance versus a group of career politicians with slick soundbites. Tonight, Rick showed that he is the most prepared candidate to handle Michigan’s economic issues,” said Jake Suski, Communications Director. “As the only candidate in the field who has a record of job creation, Rick presented a strong case for fresh leadership in Lansing and his vision to reinvent Michigan. It is unfortunate to see the Attorney General is so desperate to remain competitive in the race that he resorted to lies and distortions as only a career politician would. It is clear who the frontrunner is now. In Rick's performance, he rejected the destructive political culture that has prevented Lansing from delivering results for far too long."

This debate is the first of many which Snyder will participate in, in addition to scheduling over 50 town halls. Check out our events section for more information on upcoming town halls.
