Although I was a Republican State Representative I have decided to become a member of the Democratic Party. My journey to change my political party was interesting and full of challenges as I grew to question my original positions. I was brought up in a solid West Michigan Republican household. Over time I was drawn to Republican Congressman Jack Kemp’s focus on ensuring that economic growth includes groups who had previously been left behind.
