Although I now live out of state, I have known Judy for several years, and I can say that she definitely wants to improve the conditions for rural Michigan.
As a small business owner, Judy knows that without state help the U.P. will dry up and be a home to state handouts. I believe she is the one to come in and urge the state to get behind helping the small business community, as well the need for more tourism.
Go Judy, and good luck.
