Houghton County Dems endorse State Rep. Mike Lahti in Aug. 5 primary re-election bid

HOUGHTON -- At its July 3, 2008, business meeting the Houghton County Democratic Party (HCDP) voted unanimously to endorse 110th District Representative Mike Lahti in his August 5th primary bid against John Faccin of Crystal Falls.

In announcing the Lahti endorsement, Brian Hoduski, HCDP co-chair, said, "Mike’s strong record of accomplishment and integrity as our representative is only one reason for this endorsement. Mike knows this district and its people and he has worked hard to promote jobs; better education; and protection of our hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation heritage."

Hodusky noted Lahti was instrumental in saving the Calumet State Police post and has been a force for making insurance laws fairer and more transparent.

"But most importantly," Hoduski added, "Mike is an honest man who is determined to make life better for the people of the U.P."

The HCDP had also endorsed Lahti in his 2006 primary and general election campaigns.
