Dan Ewart for State Representative

Signs arrived, hair has been cut, first signs up! Johnny who is the owner always gives me a great cut, fun conversation, and has been a friend since I was in my undergraduate studies at MSU.

We are extremely grateful for his support!

Michigan just dropped to 34th in the nation for child well-being — dead last in the Midwest. Let that sink in.

Under Gretchen Whitmer’s leadership:

📉 75% of Michigan 4th graders are NOT proficient in reading.
📉 76% of Michigan 8th graders are NOT proficient in math.
📉 Reading and math scores remain 10% WORSE than before COVID.
📉 56% of Michigan children ages 3 and 4 aren’t even enrolled in school.
📉 Michigan ranks 42nd nationally in education. (MLPP)

To put this in plain English:

➡️ 3 out of every 4 Michigan kids can’t read or do math at grade level.
➡️ More than half of our youngest children aren’t in school.
➡️ Our state’s education system is falling behind virtually every other Midwestern state.

These aren’t just statistics. They’re children whose futures are being stolen by failed leadership.

And now Jocelyn Benson wants a promotion to Governor.

What’s her plan to reverse these numbers? What’s her plan to get Michigan kids reading again? What’s her plan to fix a system that’s producing some of the worst educational outcomes in the Midwest?

Michigan families deserve answers because “more of the same” is not a plan.

If Whitmer’s Michigan is producing these results, why would anyone believe Benson’s Michigan would be any different?

And now Jocelyn Benson wants a promotion to Governor.

As Secretary of State, Benson has spent years telling Michigan voters that everything is working exactly as intended. Yet under the same administration, our schools are collapsing in the rankings, student achievement is stagnating, and families are watching opportunities disappear.

Where is her plan to fix any of this?
How does Michigan go from 42nd in education to the Top 10?

How do we get three out of four kids reading and doing math at grade level?

How do we stop losing ground to every neighboring state?

Michigan voters shouldn’t be asked to believe that the people who helped create these results are suddenly going to reverse them.

Whitmer’s record is the blueprint.
Benson’s record suggests more of the same.

And Michigan’s kids cannot afford another four years of destructive policies.

Look at the very different headlines.

America and Pakistan claim to have reached a deal with Iran for peace and no nuclear weapons.

Fixed it for them.

Big news coming soon. What an incredible evening at Wilson Estate Vineyards celebrating Brian Ignatowski’s campaign for the 48th House District! Check out his campaign here:

This is a big deal. The first new reactor to reach criticality (self sustaining energy production) in 40 years. And, it took a year from concept to functionality. The previous reactors took multiple years to reach the same point.

This reactor and others will start producing reliable electricity for consumers in 2027. Consider that when you consider your utility rates and monopolies on utilities in our state. More reactors means cheaper reliable clean energy. It means reliable construction jobs and the folks who upkeep the reactors and buildings that support them. Nuclear insulation is a very lucrative trade.

Yay for pickles! Support your local farmer and eat a pickle. It’s the Michigan thing to do.
