With our Township officers – the supervisor, clerk and treasurer – already set by way of the primary election, Peninsula Township residents still have the important responsibility of selecting four trustees to round out the Township Board.

This unique peninsula faces a multitude of challenges. Our Township Board needs dedicated and informed trustees to problem solve and collaborate with the officers working fulltime in the township offices.
A bipartisan slate of trustee candidates – Warner Queeny, Dave Sanger, Julie Alexander, and Isaiah Wunsch – afford us a mix of talents, perspectives and experience. This group, combined with the Township officers, gives residents the best hope for navigating the challenges ahead.
Isaiah, Dave and Julie have served on the Planning Commission; Isaiah and Dave have also served as Township Board members. The three have jointly contributed many years of work on behalf of this community.
Warner Queeny brings a wealth of experience through his private sector work in domestic and international finance, planning and conflict resolution. In choosing the Peninsula as home to raise his young family, he’s now stepping up to offer his talents in service to the community.
As Warner has campaigned to earn our votes, he’s done the hard work to assess what’s truly at stake on Old Mission Peninsula. His experience in other contexts give him insight that’s impressive. He’ll bring a necessary and invaluable set of skills to the trustee role.

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

Thank you so much for posting this Dave…and I completely agree. There is so much disinformation out there, it’s become convoluted and nasty but what I know for sure is these four candidates are clearly on the side of ALL OMP stakeholders.
Cary, please list/ document some of the disinformation you reference. Thanks
Dave, I appreciate summary of each persons qualifications and their desire to serve the township. As you have noted this bi-partisan group deserves our support.
