Rep.Schmidt at the Northwestern Michigan Fair

I was happy to visit with friends and neighbors at the Northwestern Michigan Fair recently. The 4-H Livestock Auction is a great way to celebrate and support our area youths' accomplishments and it was my pleasure to participate again this year. See photo here. 

I support legislation to create a single, searchable state website so taxpayers can see how their money is spent, which will make the state more efficient by exposing waste, and I am proud to lead by example. Click here to see a detailed breakdown of my office expenses.
