Reaction to Margaret O’Brien Announcement

This morning’s announcement by Portage Councilmember Margaret O’Brien that she will seek election to the 61st district of the Michigan State House comes as no surprise. The Republican Party, their Wall Street backers and Mrs. O’Brien have consistently engaged in wedge politics, capsizing real debate on important issues, and unfortunately we expect this trend to continue in 2010. The KCDP and local Democratic candidates understand that the nonsense politics of the Republican Party and Mrs. O’Brien aim only the degenerate the debate to divisive issues such as abortion and guns. The fact of the matter is the citizens of the 61st deserve honest candidates who will focus on important issues like job creation and government reform. The KCDP is committed to both economic and government reform, and we believe that our message of middle-class values will resonate with the voters in 2010.
