CCRP WEEKLY UPDATE -- April 20, 2024
LINCOLN DAY DINNER ON MAY 9, 2024, IS JUST 19 DAYS OFF — We are excited to announce we are still receiving confirmations as to who will be attending the Lincoln Day Dinner. As of today we can confirm that US Senate candidate Dr. Sherry O’Donnell will be in the “Meet & Greet” area from 5:00-to-6:30 pm. Former State Representative Tim Kelly, a candidate to replace Graham Filler in the 93rd House District, and Michigan Supreme Court Candidate Andrew Fink, and MSU Trustee Candidate Michael Balow, will also be in the candidate “Meet and Greet” reception area to answer any questions you might have.
Other candidates running for office that will be in attendance, but not in the “Meet and Greet” area, will be Sheriff Sean Dush, Prosecutor Tony Spagnuolo, Drain Commissioner Phil Hanses, and Julie DeRose from DeWitt who will be running for the 77th Michigan House seat. County Commissioner candidate Brian Hurtekant from the 4th district will also be in attendance. Seventh Congressional Candidate Tom Barrett expressed his regrets that he is unable to attend the event due to other campaign related obligations.
We expect to receive additional commitments over the next two week as several candidates will be filing their applications to run for office that will be in attendance.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AT THE LINCOLN DAY DINNER EVENT (Click on the following link for information and/or to sign up to attend):

DEWITT PRONOUNS MAKE THE NEWS — If you haven’t heard I was asked to comment by a local TV station about where I stood on the scheduled book reading in the Schavey Elementary School regarding the usage of pronouns that children wish to be addressed as. First of all these are small children and they more than likely don’t even know what pronouns are in many cases. Well, as you know my interview was interesting to say the least. However today the issue has seemed to have exploded in the media to the point that the DeWitt school leadership has decided to cancel the book reading for now. It was reported that there have been threats toward teachers and others over this issue.
I just want to make it clear that in no way do we agree with this type of behavior. We believe there always needs to be civil discourse as we discuss the issues that we may have different opinions on. The DeWitt School Board and its administrators need to make a concerted effort to include ALL parents and members of the community when they decide to pursue social issues that impact all of us. There needs to be a process that defines who makes these decisions and to let everyone have a voice. I think it would be wise to concentrate on improving the achievement levels of our children rather than deal with divisive social issues.
OUR CLINTON COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE A MESS! — There are 14 school districts in Clinton County including many that go into the surrounding counties. We are looking for individuals who are concerned about what is going on in our schools academically and socially. School Board elections are held every two years as part of the November general election. Two seats are filled at each of those elections in every school district at that time. If you are a concerned parent of a child in school, or if your children are grown and you want to make a difference, please call us at 517-281-4458. We would like to talk to you about possibly running for one of those 2 positions in your school district. The filing deadline to get on the November 2024 ballot is July 23, 2024.
“RIGHT TO LIFE” AND MY MINT FESTIVAL POST CLARIFICATION -- I was contacted this week about my post about Clinton County Right to Life being denied the opportunity to have a booth at the Mint Festival this summer. I was informed that it wasn’t just a denial of Right to Life but it was a policy change on the part of The Mint Festival to not allow ANY political groups a booth. I don’t necessarily agree with that decision but I do think it is a fair decision. My concern is that there needs to be a public venue where people can have an open dialog about issues that we face every day to keep people informed. Our country was founded on the value of the public square where we can exchange ideas in a civil way and learn more about each other. We need to put our electronic devices away and learn to talk to each other again!
MICHAEL HOOVER SUSPENDS HIS RACE FOR THE US SENATE — Clinton County’s own Michael Hoover this week suspended his campaign for the open US Senate Seat in Michigan. I had the opportunity to get to know Michael to some degree and he would have been a great US Senator to represent Michigan. However, politics is politics and money talks. As we approach the filing date for candidates, several may still remain to run in the August Primary on August 6, 2024. We all need do our homework and look at where each of the candidates stand on the issues that are important to all of us.The survival of our country is in our hands and we must select the candidate that will represent us and defend our constitutionally defined rights and not cater to the uniparty that currently runs our country.
As of today Dr. Sherry O’Donnell is the only candidate that has decided to come to our Lincoln Day Dinner. Take the time to talk to her and find out why she wants the job and where she stands on the issues that are important to all of us.
One more thought on Michael Hoover — I think we should talk to Michael and see if he would be willing to take a run at the 28th Michigan Senate Seat in 2026 that Sam Singh currently holds. I feel Michael would be a fantastic candidate and people are already familiar with him from his US Senate race. Retiring Sam Singh should be one of our goals in 2026 and I think Michael could do that with our help. Let’s MAKE MICHIGAN GREAT AGAIN!
DEMOCRATS TAKE BACK CONTROL OF MICHIGAN HOUSE — In the special election that was held earlier this week the democrats regained control in the Michigan House. The special election was to replace two former state representatives who vacated their seats to run in open mayoral seats. The end result was that two democrats were elected to office which guaranteed the control of both chambers of the Michigan Legislature by the democrats until the end of 2024.
The democrats will continue to push their far left agenda with no way to deter them for the rest of the year.

We will be playing a movie produced by Dr. David Clements who will be the keynote speaker at our 2024 Lincoln Day Dinner on May 9, 2024 at the Royal Scot Banquet Center. The movie addresses the concerns we all have about election integrity. The movie covers the various aspects about how votes are processed and the reliability of voting machines and software, from input to output.
Don’t miss this in depth opportunity to see what can happen in our elections and the opportunity that exists for the manipulation of voting data and the subsequent result.
As our keynote speaker, Professor Clements will be addressing the issues we are all concerned about in our elections and taking questions from attendees as to how we can address these issues in Michigan and nationally.
