HANSEN EARNS MAJOR ENDORSEMENT IN BID FOR STATE SENATE

Former 34th District State Senator Endorses Hansen for his old seat
(HART, MI) – State Senate candidate Goeff Hansen (R‐Hart) today announced that he has
received the endorsement of former State Senator Leon Stille (R‐Spring Lake) in his bid for the 34th State Senate seat. Stille represented the 34th District (formerly the 32nd District) before retiring due to term limits.

“Michigan is faced with some very serious challenges right now and I believe that Goeff Hansen is the best person to represent our interests in the State Senate as we struggle to turn our state around,” Stille said. “His experience as a local small business owner, combined with his determination to get the job done right, will ensure West Michigan has a strong voice at the table working for us.”

Senator Stille served in the State Senate from 1994 – 2002, where he focused on education and agriculture issues as the chair of the Senate School Aid (K‐12) Appropriations Subcommittee and the Education Subcommittee, Vice Chair of the Farming, Agribusiness and Food Systems Committee and member of the Education Committee.

“I am pleased to have earned the support of Senator Stille,” Hansen said. “As our state senator, Leon Stille worked diligently to protect our natural resources and farmland and provide for a quality education for all of our children. As your next state senator, I pledge to continue to focus on those issues as part of my priorities for our district.”

Goeff Hansen is the owner of a local family business and is currently serving his third term as a state representative. He lives in Hart with his wife Tami. Together they have two grown children and four grandchildren.

Senator Stille’s endorsement comes as Hansen announces over 200 endorsements from leaders across the 34th State Senate District.
