The counties of Emmet, Chippewa, Mackinac, and parts of Cheboygan make up the 107th State House District in Northern Michigan. It includes the eastern Upper Peninsula and northeastern Lower Peninsula. Challenging the incumbent too forgetful to leave their unregistered firearm home before getting on a plane is Joanne Galloway of Pickford. Joanne and her husband, Gary, have a 400-acre farm and are involved with starting a farmer’s market among other community projects in the area.
Since the age of 7, Joanne has lived on the family farm and been involved in the community. She attended college at Grand Valley State University. She worked in sales in Grand Rapids before she and her husband took over the family farm. They have lived there and raised a family since 1999.
Issues important to Joanne Galloway focus on making lives better for people living in the 107th District and Northern Michigan as a whole. She supports closing down Enbridge Line 5 and support measures that will keep Michigan waters clean. One of the biggest problems in Northern Michigan is infrastructure. Business in the region will lag behind until broadband internet is available everywhere in the region. The skyrocketing cost of health care makes it harder for families to enjoy a minimum level standard of living. Supporting a way to make health care affordable for all is a priority for Galloway. It’s time to fund schools in Northern Michigan in an equitable way compared to school districts downstate so students up north have the same opportunities as those living in the southern end of the state.
Endorsements for Jane Galloway include Senator Debbie Stabenow, Former State Representative Gary McDowell, Equality Michigan Pride PAC Sierra Club of Michigan, Emmet County Democratic Party, Progressive Women’s Caucus, Mackinac County Democratic Party, Chippewa County Democratic Party, Indivisible Central UP, and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense.
