MARQUETTE, MI-- A Republican has announced his candidacy for the Michigan House of Representatives 109^th District.

Marquette Area Public Schools Board President Rich Rossway says he wants to put an end to partisan politics and the “us-vs-them” mentality. In a press release Rossway said he wants to focus on adequate funding for U.P. schools and seamless access to health care for veterans.

Rossway is the fifth person to announce a run for the seat left open when John Kivela passed away in May.

The primary election is set for August 8 and the general election November 7.
