MTA-PAC endorses Carol Ann Fausone in 21st House Republican primary election

The Michigan Townships Association Political Action Committee (MTA-PAC) is pleased to endorse Carol Ann Fausone for state Representative in the Republican primary election for the 21st District.

“Our municipalities have been fighting through the economic downturn like the rest of us,” said Fauson. “Now we are surging back, and it is my mission to be a partner with the local officials of my district in serving the people of our communities.”

The MTA-PAC endorsements were based primarily on input from township officials and the candidate’s responsiveness to township issues before the Michigan Legislature. The MTA-PAC sent questionnaires to township officials, and questionnaires were also sent to all legislative candidates on key issues of importance to townships.

It’s our belief that the candidates we endorse are looking out for the best interests of Michigan townships and local communities.”

“This endorsement is very special for me, as I’ve been proud to call Canton Township my home for two decades now,” Fausone said. “I know I have a solid grasp of the issues our local officials have confronted.”
