Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman’s It’s My Party Too PAC announced Tuesday its campaign visit and contribution support for the following lawmakers: U.S. Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-Grand Rapids), Rep. Ed Gaffney (R-Grosse Pointe Farms), Rep. Roger Kahn (R-Saginaw Township), Rep. John Proos (R-St. Joseph), Rep. Rick Shaffer (R-Three Rivers), Rep. Lorence Wenke (R-Richland), as well as House 52nd District Republican candidate Shannon Brown and Washtenaw County Commissioner Mark Ouimet.

“These candidates and incumbents are the kinds of leaders Michigan needs – leaders who will fight for the true Republican values of fiscal restraint and local control,” Ms. Whitman said in a statement. “We have selected several candidates running for various offices because we believe in building the Republican Party from the ground up – if we are to expand the Party, we must elect strong candidates on all levels.”
