“I’m proud to endorse my friend Andy Schor for Mayor of Lansing. Earlier this year, I made a promise to actively support leaders across America who are bringing people together and solving big problems in these uncertain times. Mayor Schor has been at the forefront of bringing real change and clear results for Lansing residents and everyday Michiganders.
I have seen his leadership firsthand with the growth and development of Michigan’s capital city. Andy is a community-focused leader who has delivered bold, equitable, and sustainable solutions to Lansing. In South Bend, where I served as Mayor, and in federal service working with local leaders across the country, I have come to believe that local government and leadership is the front line of where policy and action can improve everyday life. Andy brings decency and compassion in building bridges for the community he leads, andI believe Andy Schor is the clear choice to continue to serve as Lansing’s Mayor for the next four years.”
