"Our state has been hit hard. It's time we turn things around and start insuring that obstacles to business and commerce are eliminated, insisting that Michigan state government be held accountable for delivering on promises made and investing in our State to make it more attractive to families." Mike Shirkey

Dear Friends,
I am humbled by the support and love displayed by the many people involved in this campaign. Whatever success we achieved was a result of the efforts of many. And being constantly covered in prayer. Thank you!
However, this election was not about ME, it was about WE.
Here in Michigan and across the nation the resounding message is "take us back to our Constitutional roots....restrained and limited government, valuing personal accountability and responsibility, and embracing the benefits and hopes offered by sensible free markets and capitalism."
Our mandate is to reform, rebuild and revive Michigan, together.
I look forward to serving with and for you!
Mike Shirkey

Our father is seeking to serve as the state rep for the 65th district. We have no doubt he will bring tremendous dedication and energy to the post and that he will do all within his power to support you, his constituents, while leading his fellow representatives towards wise choices for our state’s future.
Our dad has been an excellent example of servant leadership all of our lives as we have witnessed him as a father, grandfather, son, husband, coach, teacher, business leader, friend, community volunteer, board chairman, fundraiser, cheerleader, and constant initiator of new ideas. He will bring to Lansing creative thinking, strong family values, and the ability to make tough decisions when necessary.
Mike’s ninth grandchild is due in December. We know the baby will be excited to meet the world and to meet his/her grandpa, Mike Shirkey, the person we encourage you to vote for as your new state rep.
