Up North Progressive

It’s certainly not on the same level as dead movie stars rising from the grave to campaign for you or your 19-year-old campaign manager cooking up fake tales of it came from the internet to discredit your opponent, but this one is still pretty terrible.

Sarah Schulz, the next Representative of the 98th State House District, is endorsed by the Police Officers Association of Michigan, or POAM. Her Republican opponent, Annette Glenn, is not. This didn’t stop Annette Glenn or the Michigan Republican Party however from listing POAM as endorsing Annette Glenn on one of her recent fliers mailed out to everyone in the district.

POAM already issued a statement on the fraudulent claim:

“We didn’t endorse her, and her using our name improperly is offensive and more of a reason not to vote for Glenn.”

Indeed, why should any human being with even basic empathy vote for any member of the Glenn family ever again? They figured Gary Glenn out in deep red Idaho twenty years ago and voted for the Democratic candidate running against him for Ada County Commissioner. That’s how much they dislike Gary Glenn in Idaho today.

Annette Glenn appears to have the same moral compass as her husband. There is a process for receiving endorsements from organizations. Just printing POAM’s name on your flier is not how it’s done.

When it comes to politics comedy Gary Glenn and now his wife Annette are the gift that keeps on giving. The people of the 98th State House District can eliminate the Glenn legacy on November 6, 2018, when they vote for Sarah Schulz.
