“There was no specific direction I wanted the election to go, I do lean Democrat so I would have liked to see them control the U.S. Senate, but I’m content with their control of the House.

I’m very happy with the state election results, because we have our second female governor, Gretchen Whitmer, and first ever African-American lieutenant government, (Garlin Gilchrist II).”

“With all the results that came out, yeah. I want to see stuff on water quality and accountability, that’s what I’m looking for and that’s the candidate I’m supporting, a candidate that [goes after] the real issues.”
