GWINN, Mich. (WZMQ) — Dr. Bob Lorinser announced Tuesday morning that he is launching his campaign for US Congress. He is trying to become the 2024 Democrat nominee for Michigan’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In a press release from Lorinser’s campaign, he said:
“Congress needs reasonable voices, advocates, and people you can trust. To make Democracy successful, we need our leaders to be truth-tellers. They need to be kind, fair, and serve with dignity and integrity. My campaign commits to those values. I will not rest in my resolve to show Yoopers and Northern Michiganders a better path forward. In the last cycle, our campaign established the groundwork. We have unfinished business to accomplish. I will champion rural America and its needs. My campaign plans to develop a strong field-team throughout the 1st District to get all qualified candidates, at all levels of government, elected after the results of the primaries are determined. Democrats have a lot of work to do to show fiercely independent rural voters how our policies benefit hardworking families. I want this campaign to be an example of how to ‘run rural’ in a divided Nation. My party must pay attention to districts like ours for long-term success, and our work begins now. For the benefit of everyone in Northern Michigan and the UP, we must put the needs of our country before party. To help lower costs and reduce economic burdens for all Americans, we must be the change. All residents in Michigan’s First — Democrats, Independents, Republicans — need affordable healthcare, housing, education, and childcare. We also need infrastructure investment, job opportunities, and economic prosperity. The challenges our rural communities face are some of the most distinct in the Nation, and we need a Congressman eager to listen to constituents and solve real problems.”
