Canton leader, Natalie Mosher, announces Congressional seat bid

CANTON, MICH. – Natalie Mosher filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission officially making her a congressional candidate against Thaddeus McCotter in Michigan’s 11th district.
   “I believe that voters are sick of the finger pointing that is only compounding the hard work it takes to develop, and implement solutions to the urgent issues of our time.  As a candidate for Congress, these issues weigh heavy on my mind.  Whether it’s job losses, the credit crunch, falling home prices, affordable healthcare or the myriad of other challenges facing us – Democrats, Republicans and Independents are looking for one thing: Solutions.  And that’s why I’m running, to offer solutions that get Michigan back to the prosperity that we enjoyed just a few years ago,” said Mosher.
    Natalie was born in Detroit, graduated from Michigan State University and currently lives in Canton with her husband Bob Mosher, a retired Ford engineer.  Natalie and Bob have two grown children.  Prior to entering the congressional race, Natalie worked as a non-profit development director, public school teacher and community leader.
   “Whether it was working as a community leader, a teacher, a non-profit development director or a mother- I’ve always been the go-to person.  No issue has been too big or too small for me to take on and get results.  Simply put, I’m a doer … not a career politician.  I would not have entered this race if I didn’t think I could offer better ideas to turn Michigan around,” said Mosher.
Key issues outlined   Mosher outlined several key issues that she plans to talk about throughout the campaign.  She supports creating alternative energy production and life sciences jobs in Michigan.  Mosher is a proponent of pension protection, expanding unemployment benefits and is against free trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA.  She supports cracking down on spiraling health care costs and wants to reduce the number of uninsured in America.  And as a former public school teacher, Mosher wants to transform public schools by refocusing efforts on pre-kindergarten for four year olds, reducing class sizes and helping more kids go to college. 
   “America and indeed Michigan are at a crossroads.  We can be the generation that stood together, worked together and put Michigan back on the path to prosperity.  Or we can be the generation that history harshly judges as the one that willingly sat on our hands and did nothing.  I for one want to be a part of the solution and work toward common-sense remedies to the nagging issues of our time,” concluded Mosher.
