REPRESENTING SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN WITH INTEGRITY
Welcome! I'm Brad Paquette, and as a freedom-loving conservative Republican, I'm excited about what we can accomplish together - expanding liberty, simplifying government, and empowering active citizens to fulfill their dreams. We can bring people together - of all ages and backgrounds - to embrace conservative truths in genuine fellowship, and thus share in the amazing blessings and opportunities that Michigan has to offer.
My campaign is a different one... rather than be a "check-the-box" guy who memorizes talking points, I am the sort of candidate who listens and learns. I love knocking on doors, visiting township meetings, meeting small business owners, connecting with faith leaders, and gathering wisdom from all across the 37th district. Over the last few years, and over thousands of conversations, I have only scratched the surface. Before I push one of those two buttons on my desk in Lansing for legislation, yes or no, I want to make sure I know as much as I can about who it is impacting. Government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is what I truly wish to maintain.
My track record since elected in 2019 is strong as I've stood solidly by my conservative campaign promises. If I make mistakes, I also wish to make them right. The COVID shutdowns were a test in 2020 and full democrat majorities in the house and senate continue to be as well. I believe these experiences have tempered me in the political arena. I will continue to fight against infringement on the 2nd Amendment. I will continue to stand for life. I will continue to communicate the precept that limited government in the lives of citizens is the only way for true pursuit of happiness. Thank you for making it possible to allow me to serve you in this capacity. It is the greatest honor of my life.
A TEACHER MAKES THE COMPLEX SIMPLE
I've been growing my roots in Southwest Michigan for the last 13 years as a neighbor, educator, and active citizen. Originally from the Upper Peninsula (a Yooper!), I was blessed to have been raised with strong conservative family values. I received my Bachelors in the Arts from Northern Michigan University (Political Science/Pre Law) then my Masters in the Art of Teaching from Andrews University in Berrien Springs.
Prior to serving two terms in the Michigan Legislature, I served as Vice-Chair of the Planning Commission in Niles, and as an educator at Niles New Tech, where I've been a leader in Project-Based Learning for the New Tech Network from 2013-2018. I have had the privilege of teaching U.S. History, Civics, and Spanish - and most of all, challenging young people to seek purpose in life.
The best teachers are the ones who connect with the human being first and then seek to make complex matters easier to understand. This continues to be my aim as I apply such a vision to government in service to my constituents, even though I learn more from them than anyone!
I'd love to have a conversation with you about what you think our district needs, and how we can improve our unique form of representative government. Use one of the surveys or head to my Facebook Page if you are interested in discussing any ideas. You will have my utmost respect as we delve into dialogue together.
