Up North Progressive

The dust settled over Michigan after the primary election on August 6, 2024, and there were happy surprises. In State House District 107, Neil Friske (R-Watch me chase a stripper while armed and receive no charges!) lost his primary race to represent the Northern Lower Peninsula and Eastern Upper Peninsula district for another term.

In a statement, Friske stated:

In Lansing, where conformity often overshadows conviction, I’ve made it my mission to stand firm on principles that matter—principles that I feel are essential to conservatives … It is evident that God has a different plan for my life. Therefore, I look forward with anticipation to following His leading down whatever path he puts before me.

Now that Friske has to figure out how to play the most dangerous game at home in Northern Michigan, who gets to take his place on the November ballot?

This guy:


Support for Parker Fairbairn of Harbor Springs includes Farm Bureau, Right to Life, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, Great Lakes Education Project, and Michigan Freedom Fund. He attends the DeVos School of Management to accompany his BBA in Automotive Marketing from Northwood University. Score another win for Dick and Betsy DeVos.

Jodi Decker is the Democratic Party candidate for the 107th State House District. Jodi lives in Sault Ste Marie with her family. Her background is in juvenile justice and working with at-risk youth. She is a strong advocate for women’s reproductive health, shutting down Enbridge Line 5, and for young people. Rather than voting for a candidate who works for the DeVos family, vote for the candidate who will work for the people of the 107th State House. Vote for Jodi Decker on November 5, 2024.
