LANSING – Voters across Michigan sent Republicans a loud and clear message last night. Democratic values and Democratic candidates prevailed throughout the state from Traverse City to Battle Creek, Royal Oak to Flint, Lansing to Kalamazoo, Muskegon to Jackson, Ferndale to Southfield it was clear Democratic policies won out.

“Last night was a great night for Democrats,” Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer said. “Voters approved millages for public safety in numerous municipalities, said discrimination won’t be tolerated in Traverse City, and re-elected Flint Mayor Dayne Walling.”

“Voters had a clear choice between the over-reaching, extreme policies of the Republicans and the policies of Democrats which focused on putting people back to work and standing up for middle class families,” added Brewer. “The results speak for themselves. The people of Michigan believe in Democratic values and candidates. They want a strong middle class and they want elected officials who will fight for them and fight to bring jobs to Michigan.”

“We will capture this momentum as we move toward 2012,” said Brewer. “We now turn our attention to re-electing President Obama, Sen. Debbie Stabenow, taking back the State House and State Supreme Court, and adding to the Democratic Congressional Delegation.”
