Candidate for State Representative
Michigan - District 101
A Proven Leader.
A Successful Servant.
Ben has been serving people his whole adult life. Whether reading to first grade students, leading choirs and bands, teaching high school and college students, pastoring a church, working on area boards, or with other county commissioners, relationships are the important ingredient to his success.
Guided by Compassion, Driven by Results.
With a career dedicated to public service, I understand that real leadership is about bringing people together to solve our most pressing challenges. My platform focuses on empowering our local economy, protecting our natural resources, and ensuring every neighborhood has access to top-tier education and safety. I don't just see the problems we face; I see the solutions to bring a brighter, more vibrant community for all of us.
Videos Sung by Ben
The two videos below are from Ben's YouTube site. Ben does the arrangements, does the background music, plays the keyboard, and sings all the background voices while he sings the lead vocal for the videos. The first one is from his heart as he writes a letter to America. The second is his Tribute to Charlie Kirk after his death.

Excellence in Education
Calling our schools back to teaching the basics of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. No more indoctrination. Parents must have an active role in what their children are learning. Also, homeschooling must be kept free for all families who wish to train their own children.
Priorities & Vision for Our Community
Economic Growth
Strengthening our local economy by incentivizing small businesses, creating high-paying jobs, and continuing to support our First Responders, Fire, EMT's, and the Sheriff's Office are my first priorities.
Mental Health Care
Ensuring Mental Healthcare for those children and their parents who have to deal with severe mental deficiencies for their children. Being raised in a home where the mother was severely depressed and had "Shock Therapy" was not good for me or my siblings.
