RGA Statement On Mark Schauer’s Decision To Run For Michigan Governor

Republican Governors Association Executive Director Phil Cox issued the following statement regarding Former Democrat Rep. Mark Schauer’s announcement that he is running for governor in Michigan:

“Mark Schauer’s record is clear: higher unemployment, wasteful spending, and support of the failed policies that led to Michigan’s lost decade. Voters have rejected Schauer’s out-of-touch agenda before and will do so again in 2014. Schauer’s record stands in stark contrast to the successful customer-service focused record of more jobs and balanced budgets under Governor Rick Snyder. Michigan has solidified itself as the comeback state under Governor Snyder and will continue to reject politicians like Mark Schauer who represent the failed policies of the past.”
