I have known Michelle for over 20 years and have worked with her during my time as Mayor and now in Congress.
Michelle understands the district, knows the issues, and is a leader our community has turned towards to solve local challenges – I know I have. From fighting for women and families to supporting small businesses and farmers, to advocating for first responders and front-line workers, Michelle McGovern is a proven leader and the advocate we need today."
