Up North Progressive

Crawford, Kalkaska, Missaukee, Ogemaw and Roscommon counties make up the 103rd House District. On November 4 the people of this district will have the opportunity to elect James Cromwell of Alger to represent them. Cromwell brings his unique perspective through music and common sense about the work he wants to do when he gets to Lansing.

James Cromwell proudly served in Vietnam. After college he worked in building construction. Cromwell was a proud Union member during his years in the building trades. He is married with two children and grandchildren. Cromwell ‘s current vocation is guitar player and leader of his band, Uncle Nice and the Roundheads.

On the issues Cromwell speaks out about what is wrong with Lansing and what he wants to do to fix it. He feels that the new international bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit is necessary for commerce. He wants to see less money go to special interests. The people strapped with more tax burden are the wrong people to be paying these higher revenues. Solutions to funding problems include creating a statewide fund to help municipalities struggling with finding money needed for services. After working in right to work states as a union master carpenter, Cromwell knows first hand how lower wages, no benefits or job security makes it harder for people to find jobs with good pay. He supports raising the minimum wage and decriminalizing marijuana statewide. Taxes are too high on retired people and the working poor, while big oil, the auto industry and special interests get the tax breaks. James Cromwell believes this is wrong and with your vote he will go to Lansing and fight to change what the Republicans have done to the state.

James Cromwell eschews all campaign funding or typical methods of campaigning. He simply asks for the people of the 103rd district for their vote. He is not a politician, he is a simple working man who wants to do what’s right for the other hard working people of his district. Vote for James Cromwell on November 4, and he will sing away the special interests and business as usual in Lansing.
