Republican Jim Tedder, elected by voters to serve as 43rd District Representative in the State Legislature, was sworn in on Jan. 14.
Tedder called The Clarkston News to give area residents an update, Jan. 9, and thank voters for giving him the opportunity to serve them.
‘I just want to thank voters for electing me,? said Tedder, who won the seat with 58.02 percent of the vote, 18,661 votes in the November election. ‘You just can’t imagine how humbling it is, looking out my office window and seeing the capitol.?
He said he spent the last few weeks before being sworn in getting his new office in Lansing up and running. He will spend his time in office working hard for residents, he said.
‘If there is anything I can to help, or if you just want to discuss an issue, please don’t hesitate to call my office,? he said.
