Electability

Jase has demonstrated his ability to win. In 2004 he won his first race and was elected as a Calhoun County Commissioner. In 2006 he faced an onslaught of negative mailings and robo-calls by the Michigan Democratic Party. In his county commission district, Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D), U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D), and State Sen. Mark Schauer (D) all won in 2006. However, Jase was reelected by these same voters with 54% of the vote. Jase did this through principled service on the county board and hard work throughout his district.
