I write asking our township residents to consider and vote for Dave Sanger for Peninsula Township trustee and Maura Sanders for Peninsula Township supervisor.

I recite and affirm our current treasurer Marge Achorn’s last paragraph of her July 30th opinion piece published in the Old Mission Gazette:
“Regardless of where you stand on the issues, I hope that you will carefully consider the qualifications, preparation, dedication, and motivations of the various candidates on the ballot in August and November.”
It cannot be stated more clearly. We are facing an election where the Kelly Clark/WOMP slate of candidates seek office not based upon the public good, but upon personal grievances and resentment because they can’t get their way.
They can’t have short term rentals, event centers, restaurants, unfettered development and commercialization of the township. They cannot work within current zoning and the township master plan, so their solution is to get elected and blow it up.
Unfortunately, reading what they have done (or more importantly, not done), to be both elected and prepared to assume the duties of these offices is sadly lacking.
It cannot be stressed strongly enough that our township stands at a crossroads. Both Maura Sanders and David Sanger provide the needed professionalism and experience to continue to move this township forward. They have and will continue to prioritize the well-being of our township above all else.
They will represent all township residents, not just the disgruntled few.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
