Good jobs in a growing economy

Supporting local schools

  • Excerpt: "A product of Michigan public schools, Dan Scripps knows how a quality education can unlock doors to opportunity. His service as a college trustee and Board member for a nationally recognized early childhood center give him a unique perspective on the value of education from pre-school to an affordable college degree."

Protecting our environment

  • Excerpt: "A hiker, hunter, angler, and committed conservationist, Dan Scripps knows that Michigan’s Great Outdoors define our way of life – especially here in Northwest Michigan.
