Dear Editor,

There’s an important election Aug. 2. I would like to add my support for Republican Joe Kent for 46th District House of Representative. Joe is a tax expert, and that’s just what we need in Lansing. He understands the impact taxes and red tape. He’s a straight shooter who follows through. I also like the fact that he grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. You can hear it in the plain way he speaks.

We don’t need more politician types in Lansing. We need Joe and others like him who are not afraid of hard work and hard problems. Votefor Joe Kent on Aug. 2
