Electing a state senator is a like hiring somebody you can trust to work independently at a tough job. The hours are long, there aren’t many pats on the back and people expect you to deliver results. Pam Byrnes has the best qualifications, experience, back bone and work ethic to do exactly that in the state Senate.

Byrnes has a proven track record as a problem-solver. She gathers input from all points of view, weighs the pros and cons, considers the impact on the lives of people like you and me and then works tirelessly to achieve a lasting solution. Byrnes doesn’t look for the popular or quick fix to score political points. She takes the long view and will champion an enduring common sense approach; even when it draws criticism.

Pam Byrnes is the best choice to represent the 18th Senate District. Let’s put her to work for us in Lansing. Join me in voting for Pam Byrnes in the Aug. 3 Democratic primary.
