John Taylor Drops Out of 20th Senate Race, Opening the Door for Mark Totten to Beat Robert Jones

Hearing that John Taylor had dropped out of the Michigan Senate’s 20th District Race made my day. Not because I don’t like John Taylor or was opposed to his candidacy – I’ve actually never commented on either. What this means, however, is that Mark Totten has a real chance to beat Robert Jones in the primary.

On that point, I’d like to note that it is my earnest belief that the election of Robert Jones is the worse possible outcome for the people of the 20th district. If you haven’t seen my short video about him, here it is again:

Robert Jones is also bad for WMU students. His bill to hack up the Colony Farm Orchard and sell it off to private businesses is going to cost WMU students nearly $1 million. You can read my list of reasons not to vote for him here.

Mark Totten is the only candidate running for the state senate seat who isn’t a career politician. Wenke and Schuitmaker are both “victims” of term limits. Jones and DeShazor are both career politicians looking to stay in power a bit longer. I’m not endorsing Mr. Totten by any means, but he is certainly better than Jones by any objective standard.
