Re-election campaign continues to build momentum towards fall

ISHPEMING — State Senator Mike Prusi (D-Ishpeming) today announced a number of endorsements in his campaign seeking a second term representing the 38th State Senate District.

Prusi's work on behalf of U.P. residents in the State Senate has earned him the endorsement of a number of statewide labor, business, education, and public safety organizations, including the Michigan AFL-CIO, the Michigan Farm Bureau, the Michigan Association of Police Organizations, the County Road Association of Michigan, the Michigan Professional Firefighters Union, and the Michigan Education Association.

“I sincerely appreciate the endorsement of these well-respected statewide organizations,” Prusi said. "However, I believe the most important endorsement of all is from the voters, and I will continue to work hard every day for the honor to serve U.P. citizens for another term in the 38th District."

Prusi also has officially launched his campaign website, detailing his re-election agenda to make the U.P. an even better place to work, live, and raise a family at www.mikeprusi.com.
