5/17/14 - Mark Schauer, a Howell native who is running for governor, provided the keynote address at the 31st annual Winans Dinner. About 320 Democratic Party members gathered at Lakelands Golf and Country Club to support Schauer and other candidates running for office this November. Schauer, who graduated valedictorian from Howell High School in 1980, believes one key to success is investing in Michiganders. âSend the message that we are a high wage high skill state, rather than low wage low skill state...Thatâs not the Michigan that I envision.â Schauer brought the crowd to its feet several times saying, âThe road to Lansing starts in my home county, Livingston County!â Mike Tipton, who is running for a seat on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, says Schauer is on the right side of many issues, especially education reform. Tipton said education is vital for jobs, for growth and a better life in Michigan, especially in Livingston County. Schauer told those in attendance that he and his running mate, Lisa Brown, will wake up every day and fight good jobs and a strong middle class. (LR/JK)
