It has been a thrill to help my dad’s campaign for the past year.  Although I spend most of my time focused on school and with my friends, I’ve really enjoyed the opportunities to travel around the state with my dad and volunteer around the campaign office.  I never could have imagined all of the fun activities that come along with something like this.

Today, my dad’s campaign is putting a new tv commercial on the air across the state that actually features me talking about him and why I think he’ll be a great governor.  Although I was a little nervous about being on television, I’m excited to be able to help his campaign in such a big way.

Most people I talk to don’t really know my dad and usually ask me what kind of a person he is.  It’s hard to answer that question since he’s my dad and I’ve never had to think about how to answer that.  My dad is a great father and has always been there for me when I need help.  Whether it’s for school or a problem I’m having, he’s always willing to listen to me and help me as I make my own decisions.  Every day, he pushes me to learn new things and work hard at everything I try to do.

My dad is a businessman.  He’s been very successful and I know a lot of people depend on him to make the right decision.  He also cares a lot about people and helps mentor them to become successful.  My dad is also someone who does what he says he’s going to do, even when it is tough work.

Those are just some of the reasons why I believe my dad will make a great governor.  He cares a lot about Michigan and has put a lot of work into his plan to reinvent the state.  I’m sure that if you listen to my dad and get to know him, you’ll agree with me.   If you do decide to support my dad, I hope you’ll help his campaign like I am.
